  LIPID CONTAINING CARBOHYDRATES MAINLY
  FOUND IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
  sc> biol> GLUCOSE a MONOSACCHARIDE also known as

  like GALACTOSE it also is a 6 CARBON CHAIN
  more sweet than GALACTOSE
  MADE BY PHOTOSYNTHESIS by PLANTS and found in

  sc> biol> SUCROSE or SUGAR and
            LACTOSE or MILK SUGAR are
  ISOMERIC or CHEMICALLY IDENTICAL except for
  ISO denoting that the molecules are
  arranged in SPACE as MIRROR IMAGES of each other
  as are THE LEFT and RIGHT HANDS which also are ISOMERIC
  SUCROSE is found in BEETS SUGAR CANE and MAPLE SAP
  note LACTOSE or C12  H12 011 is found in MILK
       UPON HYDROLISIS or mixing with water dissolves into
       GALACTOSE and GLUCOSE becomes
       both being C6  H12 02
  note SUCROSE upon hydrolysis becomes
       FRUCTOSE and GLUCOSE
  note DEXTROSE for GLUCOSE and
       LEVULOSE for FRUCTOSE denote
  DEXTROROTARY in contrast to LEVOROTARY
  meaning that when L PASTEUR [#] shone LIGHT
  a solution of DEXTROSE deviated light to the RIGHT
