Lactose
Lactose
Hydrolysis of lactose yields glucose and galactose, while hydrolysis of sucrose yields glucose and fructose.
Glucose, fructose and galactose are simple sugars. So, glucose is final digested form of sugar and it can not be further digested. It is absobed in the body from the small intestine.
Sucrose is not a monosaccharide as galactose.
is galactose a complex carbohydrate
galactose
A: Lactose, or milk sugar, is digested by the enzyme lactase. Lactase is produced in the small intestine. It catalyses (speeds up) the digestion of lactose into two smaller sugars, glucose and galactose.
Galactose - EP - was created in 1999.
Lactose is composed of two monosaccharides: glucose and galactose.
Galactose is C6H12O6
Lactose is a disaccharide sugar made up of galactose and glucose molecules. Galactose is a monosaccharide sugar that is found in milk and dairy products. Lactose needs to be broken down into galactose and glucose in the body in order to be absorbed.
The monosaccharides galactose and glucose, when bonded together through a condensation reaction, form the disaccharide lactose.
