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 .
Any of a class of sugars, including lactose and sucrose, that are composed of two monosaccharides. an example would be milk or sugar
starches and monosaccharides are carbohydrates, and monosaccharides make up starches, which is a polysaccharide.
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.

Monosaccharides are sugars; sugars are used for food.
Chains of monosaccharides are called polysaccharides.
