What type of macromolecule is lactose and what is the monomer of that macromolecule?

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.
