The main sugar in milk is a disaccharide, Lactose, which is made up of Glucose and Galactose.
Lactose is the main sugar found in milk. This is a disaccharide of glucose 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 and glucose are not the same! milk contains sugar, and sugar (starch-->glucose) is glucose, so if the milk is lactose free, it still contains glucose and proteins...
Glucose is known as grape sugar or blood sugar, as it is commonly found in grapes and can also be found in various fruits and honey. Milk sugar, on the other hand, refers to lactose, which is found in milk and dairy products.
Glucose is the main sugar produced in photosynthesis.
the name for milk sugar is lactose. The ose ending indicates that it is a sugar, like fructose (fruit sugar) or glucose (blood sugar).
Table sugar and the sugar found in milk are both examples of carbohydrates. Specifically, table sugar is sucrose, a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose, while the sugar in milk is lactose, also a disaccharide made up of glucose and galactose. Both types of sugar provide energy and are commonly found in various foods.
