Fat free milk contains carbohydrates in the form of lactose which is a disaccharide composed of two monosaccharides (galactose + sucrose).

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Consider the statement carefully and split it into its components for clarity.
Option 1: 'True' — This would assert that the claim about lactose being galactose + sucrose is accurate. Here, the component claim is incorrect because lactose is composed of galactose and glucose, not galactose and sucrose. Sucrose itself is a disaccharide made of glucose and fructose, so mixing up the second monosaccharide here leads to a factual error. Additionally, the fact that the milk is fat-free does not change the identity of the carbohydrate.
Option 2: 'False' — This correctly identifies that the disaccharide in lactose is galactose paired with glucose, not galactose paired with sucrose. The assertion that lactose is formed from galactose + sucrose conflates two different disaccharides (lactose vs. sucrose) and is therefore incorrect. Since the statement contains the incorrect component (the second monosaccharide), it is not an accurate description of lactose.
To recap the potential misconceptions: one might confuse the term 'sucrose' with the second component of lactose, or assume fat content alters carbohydrate composition, which it does not in this context. The key factual error lies in naming the second monosaccharide of lactose.
