Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Galactosemia is a disorder in which the body is unable to break down galactose, leading to a buildup of this sugar in the blood and tissues. This can cause symptoms such as jaundice, poor feeding, and liver damage. Glycogenesis is the process by which glucose is stored in the form of glycogen, while glycogenosis refers to a group of disorders characterized by problems with glycogen metabolism. Neither of these disorders are related to the inability to convert galactose into glucose.
