Which one of the following is also called as milk sugar? |
A. | Glucose |
B. | Fructose |
C. | Maltose |
D. | Lactose |
Answer» D. Lactose | |
Explanation: The main sugar found in milk is known as lactose, which is a natural sugar that is made up of glucose and galactose. It provides a mildly sweet taste to milk. It makes up around 2- 8% of the solids in milk. Lactase, found in the small intestine, breaks down lactose into two simpler forms of sugar: glucose and galactose, which is then absorbed by the body. |
