Where is lactose found in living organisms?
Lactose is a source of energy for the young. Lactose is a ‘Milk Sugar’ which means that it can be found in a female’s breast. This is great energy for the young when breast-feeding. Lactose is made from two monosaccharide’s which are single sugar unit’s of Glucose and Galactose. Therefore, when the two monosaccharide’s have joined in a chemical reaction with a glycosidic bondage, they produce LACTOSE.
