The main carbohydrate in milk is lactose. It is a disaccharide meaning it is composed of two monosaccharides.
No Glucose is a monosaccharide Two monosaccharides make a Disaccharide and after that it is conisdered poly which means many (other monosaccharides are gluctose,fructose and galactose) (other disaccharides are lactose(from milk)) (other polysaccharides are starch (from potatoes)
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.
Monosaccharides .
starches and monosaccharides are carbohydrates, and monosaccharides make up starches, which is a polysaccharide.
Any of a class of sugars, including lactose and sucrose, that are composed of two monosaccharides. an example would be milk or sugar
Lactose, which is a disaccharide (sugar) makes up between 2% and 8% of milk by weight. In digestion, it is broken down into glucose and galactose (monosaccharides). But lactose does not have the sweet taste associated with most sugars.
Mono = one Di = two That simple.
two monosaccharides through a glycosidic bond.
Lactose, which is a disaccharide (sugar) makes up between 2% and 8% of milk by weight. In digestion, it is broken down into glucose and galactose (monosaccharides). But lactose does not have the sweet taste associated with most sugars.
Monosaccharides are sugars; sugars are used for food.
Chains of monosaccharides are called polysaccharides.
