                                Though glucose, fructose, and galactose share the same chemical formula ($C_6H_{12}O_6$), their distinct molecular structures allow for their identification using a series of specialized chemical tests. Accurately learning how to identify glucose, fructose, and galactose is fundamental in biochemistry for analysis and research.
