If digestion of a carbohydrate results in equal amounts of glucose and galactose, this carbohydrate is likely lactose. Lactose is a disaccharide composed of one glucose molecule and one galactose molecule linked together. When digested, it is broken down by the enzyme lactase into its constituent sugars, leading to the equal production of glucose and galactose.
Yes. Monosaccharides are simple sugars found in foods that contain glucose, fructose or galactose in the ingredient list. Dairy products including ice cream, cheese, butter and yogurt contain galactose, a monosaccharide.

Synthesis and storage of glycogen
To provide cellular fuel. Very small amounts are used for structural purpose.
Yes, although the amount of gluten is significantly reduced from the amounts in wheat flour.
produce in small amounts the hydrochloric acid required for the digestion of food ,,
Gum Arabic mainly consists of a mixture of glycoproteins and polysaccharides, specifically arabinose and galactose. It also contains small amounts of minerals and acids.
Grapes contain primarily simple carbohydrates in the form of natural sugars like glucose and fructose. They also have small amounts of more complex carbohydrates like fiber, but overall they are considered a simple carbohydrate due to their high sugar content.
Trace minerals, such as zinc, copper, and selenium, are needed in very small amounts to support digestion and other body processes. These minerals help to activate enzymes and participate in various chemical reactions that are essential for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients effectively.
Dehydration,Digestion problem,Headache,Increase in blood pressure,a reason for Arthritis
The stomach contains large amounts of hydrochloric acid, which helps in the digestion of food by breaking down proteins and killing harmful bacteria.
