Detailed explanation-3: -Galactose is a monosaccharide and has the same chemical formula as glucose, i.e., C6H12O6. It is similar to glucose in its structure, differing only in the position of one hydroxyl group. This difference, however, gives galactose different chemical and biochemical properties to glucose.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lactose is a disaccharide. It is made up of two hexose molecules, glucose, and galactose.
