A twist on popular polished granite, honed granite gives a soft, matte finish instead of the traditional glossy look. Like polished granite, honed granite is just as resistant to scratching, chipping, cracking and heat, making it one of the most durable kitchen countertop options around.
Galactosemia (Galactosaemia) is a rare genetic metabolic disorder that affects an individual's ability to metabolize the sugar galactose properly. Galactosemia is not related to and should not be confused with lactose intolerance. Galactosemia follows an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance that confers a deficiency in an enzyme responsible for adequate galactose degradation. Goppert first described the disease in 1917, with its cause as a defect in galactose metabolism being identified by a group led by Herman Kalckar in 1956.
Galactose Defined. Galactose is a monosaccharide, meaning single sugar unit, with the chemical formula C6H12O6. This chemical composition is identical to that of the more common monosaccharide glucose, and though glucose and galactose don't have identical chemical structures, they're quite similar.actose is a disaccharide, meaning it's made up of two smaller monosaccharide units. Specifically, lactose consists of a glucose chemically bonded to a galactose, giving it the overall chemical formula C12H22O11.
