- BGlucose and Fructose
- CGlucose and Sucrose
- DGlucose and Galactose
Explanation
Lactose, the sugar of milk, is a disaccharide composed of one glucose and one galactose molecule joined by a glycosidic bond. Glucose plus fructose forms sucrose, while glucose plus sucrose or glucose alone do not describe a disaccharide of this kind. The enzyme lactase splits lactose into glucose and galactose during digestion.
