Question 8
Which statement about galactose is correct?
The right answer is the one marked above.
Galactose is found in milk foods, and it is what lactose breaks down into during digestion. It has no sweet taste.
Two of the others describe glucose — the end product of digesting every starchy food, and the sugar a plant produces in photosynthesis. Being the sweetest of the monosaccharides belongs to fructose.
