yes, because it's made up of glucose and galactose. These 2 sugars are monosaccharides that have an aldehyde at their C1 end in their linear form, thus they're both aldoses. Therefore lactose is an aldose.
Lactose is also a reducing sugar, and both glucose and galactose that make up lactose are hexoses (6-membered sugar rings).

Is xylose aldose or ketose?
Aldose because it has a six members ring
Is galactose a pentose or hexose?
aldose: Any of a class of monosaccharide sugars containing an aldehyde group. Look up the molecular structure or galactose and you will see it has an aldehyde group (COH on the end of the molecule) It is an aldose.
Is xylose a reducing sugar?
Ribose: Ribose is an Aldopentose sugar, and all aldose sugars are reducing sugars. The non-reducing sugars are ketose sugars which contain a ketone functional group. For ex: Ketose = Sucrose. For ex: Aldose = Glucose, Fructose, Lactose
What is an aldoside?
An aldoside is a glucoside of an aldose.
What is an aldoheptose?
An aldoheptose is an aldose form of a heptose.
What is an aldotriose?
An aldotriose is an aldose with three carbon atoms.
What is aldotriose?
An aldotriose is an aldose with three carbon atoms.
Is maltose a ketose?
Because sucrose is a complex disaccharide, it is not classified as either an aldose or a ketone. Instead, it is a compound that contains both. It can be easily broken down into its component aldose and ketonic molecules, either during digestion in the body, or through exposure to acids such as those present in lemon juice while cooking.Additionally, sucrose will fail tests such as Benedict's test, which are designed to detect aldose molecules present in its makeup. This is because of its unique, closed-chain type of molecular structure.
What is an aldotetrose?
An aldotetrose is an aldose containing four carbon atoms.
Tests to differentiate between an aldose and ketose?
selawinoff's test
Is glucose an aldose ketose or pentose?
hexose, it is a 6 carbon sugar.
What is an aldohexose?
An aldose sugar is a monosaccharide (a simple sugar) containing one aldehyde group per molecule and having a chemical formula of the form Cn(H2O)n(n>=3).
