As nouns the difference between triose and triode

is that triose is (chemistry) a sugar or saccharide containing three carbon atoms trioses are the smallest monosaccharides dihydroxyacetone and l- / d-glyceraldehyde are the only trioses while triode is a thermionic valve containing an anode, a cathode, and a control grid; small changes to the charge on the grid control the flow from cathode to anode which makes amplification possible.
