How is lactose classified by sugar in milk?
Lactose, a sugar in milk, is composed of one glucose molecule joined by a glycosidic linkage to one galactose molecule. Lactose is classified as a disaccharide
Which one is not naturally occurring sugar?
Lactose, or "milk sugar" which is created in animals.
When glucose and galactose join together it becomes?
It becomes milk sugar or more commonly known as lactose. One glucose monomer and one galactose monomer makes the disaccharide lactose.
What is the difference between sugar and glucose?
Glucose - one of the results of photosynthesis Sugar - refined glucose
How many sugars in one ounce of whole milk?
Cows milk contains lactose (about 4.7%), which is a sugar molecule comprising one glucose molecule linked to one galactose molecule. Lactose is unique to milk. So, in one ounce of milk, approximately 1/20th of it would be 'sugar', i.e. lactose, about 1.5 g.
What is the difference between polyasccharides and monosaccharudes?
== == Monosaccharides are one-molecule sugars and those commonly found in food are: Glucose (dextrose or blood sugar) Fructose (fruit sugar) Galactose (occurs mainly in milk) Polysaccarides (complex carbs) are made up of simple sugars (monosaccharides) or their derivatives linked together in different ways. Starch is an example of polysaccharide or complex carbohydrate. Let's not forget those Disaccharides! Disaccharides are two monosaccharides linked together. Those common to food always contain at least one glucose molecule. Sucrose (table sugar) = glucose + fructose Lactose (milk sugar) = glucose + galactose Maltose (malt sugar) = glucose + glucose
What is one sugar produced in photosynthesis?
glucose man.
What is a single glucose called?
glucose is a sugar simple sugars like glucose are called monosaccharides mono = one saccharide = sugar
What makes up monosaccharides?
I believe maltose is made up of two glucose molecules.
Why glucose is given to diabetic patient and not sugar?
One tiny bit of glucose is equal to a whole bowl of sugar. They are the same thing but glucose is worse for you.
Why is blood glucose sometimes called blood sugar?
Glucose is the kind of sugar that circulates in the blood. For example, lactose (sugar found in milk), is a disaccharide (ie two linked sugar molecules) made up of one glucose molecule and one galactose molecule. Galactose is almost like glucose, but it will be changed into glucose in the liver and then released into the blood. All carbohydrates, including starches and grains, eventually get broken down and converted into glucose molecules, which are then released into the blood.
Are lactose and lactic acid the same?
Lactose and glucose are not the same. Glucose is a mono-saccharide (composed of one sugar molecule) while lactose is a di-saccharide (2 sugar molecules; one of which is a glucose molecule).
