Glucose and galactose {hexose} have six carbons. One amino group can bind at glucose second carbon {glucosamine}. Glucosamine is in insect chitin. One amino group can bind to galactose {galactosamine}. Galactosamine is in glycolipids and chondroitin sulfate. One amino group can bind to aldehyde sugars at first carbon {muramic acid} {neuraminic acid}. Muramic acid and neuraminic acid make cell walls.
