Lactose, or milk sugar, is a disaccharide. This means that it consists of two sugar molecules. The molecules in lactose are galactose and glucose, both of which are monosaccharides.Both monosaccharides and disaccharides are considered simple sugars, or simple carbohydrates.
Lactose is a simple carbohydrate and typically is the reason for milk intolerance in people. Lactose is a simple sugar/carbohydrate.
No: lactose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose. It is found exclusively in milk and is also known as "milk sugar".

Lactose free means that the product with that label is without the simple sugar of lactose found in dairy. This means those with lactose intolerance can consume the item without getting sick most of the time.
sucrose, fructose, lactose..etc
glucose, fructose, galactose, sucrose, lactose, dextrose
yes, because it is a simple carbohydrate
A. Glucose is a simple sugar (a monosaccharide). Lactose is also a sugar, but it is a disaccharide made up of galactose and glucose.
Lactose is the main sugar found in milk. This is a disaccharide of glucose and galactose.
Lactose is not a macromolecule. It is a disaccharide, that is one molecule of lactose is formed by the elimination of water between two simple sugar molecules, in this case galactose and glucose. Lactose can be made to link up into medium chain molecules, but this is a fairly random process and produces a mixture of products which are not digestible.
Monsaccharides are a simple for a sugar and can have a sweet taste. They are usually colorless and water-soluble. Monosaccharide includes glucose and galactose. Lactose is made from both of those at its simplest forms.
