Galactose is found in dairy products, sugar beets, and other gums and mucilages.
It is also synthesized by the body, where it forms part of glycolipids andglycoproteins in several tissues.

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.
Galactose is obtained from lactose (the milk sugar) after its hydrolysis carried out by the enzyme beta-galactosidase (or lactase) yielding beta-D-glucose and alpha-D-galactose.
Agarobiose, the repeating unit of Agarose, is a disaccharide composed of D-galactose and 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose
When a molecule of lactose is hydrolyzed the monomers that had linked together to form lactose will be pulled away from each other through the addition of lactose. Lactose is made from GLUCOSE AND GALACTOSE, henceforth these two monomers will emerge through the hydrolysis of lactose. Hope this helps...
Both maltose aswell as lactose are disaccharides, where maltose is made up of two glucose units, whereas lactose is made up of 1 unit of glucose and 1 unit of galactose. Barfoed's test answers only for mono and disaccharides. Presence of red precipitate would indicate a positive result for monosaccharides. Thus doing Barfoed's test does not distinguish between maltose and galactose since both are disaccharides.
The reaction between concentrated nitric acid (HNO3) and galactose (C6H12O6) would result in the oxidation of galactose to formic acid and other products. The specific chemical equation would be complex and involve multiple steps and intermediate compounds.
lactose
Sucrose is not a monosaccharide as galactose.
is galactose a complex carbohydrate
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.
they are all the same but the difference is galactose has different spacial
