Question

Milk in natural form has a certain amount of sugar. This sugar is called

• A. Lactose
• B. Fructose
• C. Glucose
• D. Sucrose

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Lactose

One cup of white milk (250 ml) contains 12 grams of naturally-occurring sugar called lactose. It gives milk a slightly sweet taste. The body breaks lactose down into glucose and galactose (most of which is later converted to glucose). So, the correct option is "A" (Lactose).
