Sugars like fructose and lactose are classified as carbohydrates, specifically as simple sugars or monosaccharides (fructose) and disaccharides (lactose).
Some examples of natural sugars found in foods include fructose in fruits, lactose in dairy products, and sucrose in honey and maple syrup.
The three most common monosaccharides in one's diet are most likely glucose (both the alpha and beta isomers), galactose, and fructose. These sugars make up three common diasaccharides: Maltose, Lactose and Sucrose Maltose (malt sugar) is made from 2 alpha glucoses (linked via an alpha glycosidic bond) Lactose (milk sugar) is made from galactose and beta glucose (linked via a beta glycosidic bond) Sucrose (table sugar) is made from alpha glucose and fructose (linked via an alpha glycosidic bond.)
Glucose and Fructose are examples of monosaccharides.
Lactose is comprised of glucose and galactose. Sucrose is comprised of glucose and fructose.
The three simple sugars absorbed into the bloodstream are glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Sugars that are monomers are called monosaccharides, which are singe (simple) sugars like glucose, fructose, and galactose. However, lactose is a disaccharide (double sugar) composed of galactose and glucose bonded together.
Some popular sugars include glucose, sucrose, fructose, and lactose.

natural sugars.....lactose in milk, fructose in fruit and honey
Sugars end in -ose. Examples are fructose and lactose.
Fructose, lactose, and sucrose are all types of sugars. Fructose is a simple sugar found in fruits and honey. Lactose is a sugar found in milk and dairy products. Sucrose, also known as table sugar, is a combination of glucose and fructose found in sugarcane, sugar beets, and many fruits and vegetables.

Glucose and fructose are examples of monosaccharides, or simple sugars. Monosaccharides are types of carbohydrates that are naturally found in fresh fruits and vegetables.
Sugars are placed in the category of organic molecules known as carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are a class of compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and they include sugars, starches, and fibers. Sugars are further classified as simple carbohydrates, which include monosaccharides (such as glucose and fructose) and disaccharides (such as sucrose and lactose).
Sucrose. Other types of sugars include Fructose from fruits and Lactose from milk.
Some common disaccharides include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).
No, skim milk is not classified as a reducing sugar. Reducing sugars are carbohydrates that can donate electrons, typically including monosaccharides like glucose and fructose, and some disaccharides like maltose. Skim milk contains lactose, which is a disaccharide, but it is not considered a reducing sugar in the same context. Skim milk primarily consists of water, proteins, fats, and lactose, but its sugars do not exhibit the reducing properties characteristic of reducing sugars.
