lactose
No, lactose is a disaccharide sugar, not a base. It is composed of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of galactose linked together.
The basic unit of a sugar molecule is a monosaccharide. Examples of monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose.
The 2 mono saccharides that make up lactose are glucose and galactose. Glucose is basically sugar in its most basic form. It is made by plants through photosynthesis.
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
glucose, fructose, galactose
Glucose and galactose
A disaccharide is a molecule composed of two monosaccharide units joined together by a glycosidic bond. The most common disaccharides include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).
In the process of water breaking apart the lactose molecule, water molecules (H2O) interact with the lactose molecule which is made up of glucose and galactose. The water molecule breaks the glycosidic bond between glucose and galactose by adding a hydroxyl group to one sugar and a hydrogen ion to the other, resulting in the formation of two separate sugar molecules.
its a simple sugar such as glucose, galactose and fructose. hope this helped :)
Glucose and Fructose are examples of monosaccharides.
The monosaccharides galactose and glucose, when bonded together through a condensation reaction, form the disaccharide lactose.
Some examples: glucose, fructose, galactose, xylose, ribose.
