Lactose is a disaccharide found in milk. It is composed of a molecule of D-galactose and a molecule of D-glucose bonded by a β-1-4 glycosidic linkage. | | Lactose | disaccharide | milk | D-galactose | D-glucose | glycosidic linkage | hydrates | carbon | Greek | sugar | biomolecules | proteins | lipids | nucleic acids | energy | starch | glycogen | cellulose | chitin | immune system | fertilization | pathogenesis | blood clotting | development | organic compounds | aldehydes | ketones | hydroxyl | functional group | monosaccharides | glucose | galactose | fructose | stoichiometric | formula | polysaccharides | oligosaccharides | deoxyribose | DNA | ribose | chitin | N-acetylglucosamine | nitrogen | -ose | Monosaccharide | D-glucose is an aldohexose with the formula (C·H2O)6. The red atoms highlight the aldehyde group, and the blue atoms highlight the asymmetric center furthest from the aldehyde; because this -OH is on the right of the Fischer projection, this is a D sugar. | | D-glucose | aldehyde | asymmetric center | Fischer projection | chemical formula | | | α | β | anomers | carbonyl | carbon | chiral | aldehyde | aldose | ketone | ketose | trioses | tetroses | pentoses | hexoses | glucose | aldohexose | ribose | aldopentose | fructose | ketohexose | hydroxyl group | asymmetric | stereocenters | isomers | stereoisomers | glyceraldehyde | enantiomers | epimers | 1,3-dihydroxyacetone | Glucose can exist in both a straight-chain and ring form. | | Glucose | hemiacetal | hemiketal | heterocyclic | furanose | pyranose | anomeric carbon | anomers | trans | equilibrium | metabolism | biosynthesis | polysaccharides | glycerol | Sucrose, also known as table sugar, is a common disaccharide.

It can be made of several thousands of glucose units. It is one of the two components of starch, the other being amylopectin. | | Amylose | polymer | glucose | starch | amylopectin | Oligosaccharide | Polysaccharide | raffinose | protein | posttranslational modification | blood group | polymers | function | Starch | amylose | amylopectin | glycogen | Cellulose | chitin | cell walls | viscose | nitrogen | arthropod | exoskeletons | fungi | surgical threads | callose | laminarin | xylan | mannan | galactomannan | Grain products: rich sources of complex and simple carbohydrates | | Grain | water | proteins | fats | tissue | cells | essential nutrients | glycerol | triglycerides | kilocalories | ruminants | termites | breads | pastas | beans | potatoes | bran | rice | cereals | Institute of Medicine | dietary energy | Food and Agriculture Organization | World Health Organization | Dietitians | nutritionists | monosaccharides | disaccharides | oligosaccharides | polysaccharides | fruit | dairy products | USDA's | glycemic index | glycemic load | blood glucose | insulin index | blood insulin | Carbohydrate metabolism | | talk page | requests for expansion | metabolic pathways | catabolism | Glycolysis | Citric acid cycle | Glycoside hydrolases | organic reactions | Carbohydrate acetalisation | Cyanohydrin reaction | Lobry-de Bruyn-van Ekenstein transformation | Amadori rearrangement | Nef reaction | Wohl degradation | Koenigs-Knorr reaction | Wikimedia Commons | Biochemistry | Gluconeogenesis | Glycolipid | Glycoprotein | Low-carbohydrate diet | No-carbohydrate diet | Macromolecules | Nutrition | Pentose phosphate pathway | Photosynthesis | Sugar | v | d | Metabolism | Catabolism | Anabolism | Metabolic pathway | Metabolic network | Cellular respiration | Anaerobic | Aerobic | Protein metabolism | Carbohydrate metabolism | Lipid metabolism | Iron metabolism | v | d | Food chemistry | Additives | Coloring | Enzymes | Essential fatty acids | Flavors | Lipids | Minerals | Proteins | Vitamins | Water | v | Aldose | Ketose | Pyranose | Furanose | Cyclohexane conformation | Anomer | Mutarotation | Monosaccharides | Trioses | Dihydroxyacetone | Glyceraldehyde | Tetroses | Erythrulose | Erythrose | Threose | Pentoses | Ribulose | Xylulose | Ribose | Arabinose | Xylose | Lyxose | Deoxy sugar | Deoxyribose | Hexoses | Ketohexose | Psicose | Fructose | Sorbose | Tagatose | Aldohexose | Allose | Altrose | Glucose | Mannose | Gulose | Idose | Galactose | Talose | Deoxy sugar | Fucose | Fuculose | Rhamnose | Heptose | Sedoheptulose | Disaccharides | Sucrose | Lactose | Trehalose | Maltose | Trisaccharides | Raffinose | Melezitose | Maltotriose | Tetrasaccharides | Acarbose | Stachyose | oligosaccharides | Fructooligosaccharide | Polysaccharide | Glycogen | Starch | Amylose | Amylopectin | Cellulose | Chitin | Inulin | Dextrin | Glucan | Beta-glucan | Glycosaminoglycans | Heparin | Chondroitin sulfate | Hyaluronan | Heparan sulfate | Dermatan sulfate | Keratan sulfate | Aminoglycosides | Kanamycin | Streptomycin | Tobramycin | Neomycin | Paromomycin | Apramycin | Gentamicin | Netilmicin | Amikacin | biochemicals | Saccharides | Glycosides | Amino acids | Peptides | Proteins | Glycoproteins | Lipids | Terpenes | Steroids | Carotenoids | Alkaloids | Nucleobases | Nucleic acids | Enzyme cofactors | Flavonoids | Polyketides | Tetrapyrroles | ISBN 0-13-981176-1 | ISBN 0-8053-3066-6 | ISBN 0-8053-1957-3 | National Academies Press | ISBN 0-309-08537-3 | PDF | World Health Organization | ISBN 92-4-120916-X | ISBN 92-5-104114-8 | DHHS | USDA | v | Aldose | Ketose | Pyranose | Furanose | Cyclohexane conformation | Anomer | Mutarotation | Monosaccharides | Trioses | Dihydroxyacetone | Glyceraldehyde | Tetroses | Erythrulose | Erythrose | Threose | Pentoses | Ribulose | Xylulose | Ribose | Arabinose | Xylose | Lyxose | Deoxy sugar | Deoxyribose | Hexoses | Ketohexose | Psicose | Fructose | Sorbose | Tagatose | Aldohexose | Allose | Altrose | Glucose | Mannose | Gulose | Idose | Galactose | Talose | Deoxy sugar | Fucose | Fuculose | Rhamnose | Heptose | Sedoheptulose | Disaccharides | Sucrose | Lactose | Trehalose | Maltose | Trisaccharides | Raffinose | Melezitose | Maltotriose | Tetrasaccharides | Acarbose | Stachyose | oligosaccharides | Fructooligosaccharide | Polysaccharide | Glycogen | Starch | Amylose | Amylopectin | Cellulose | Chitin | Inulin | Dextrin | Glucan | Beta-glucan | Glycosaminoglycans | Heparin | Chondroitin sulfate | Hyaluronan | Heparan sulfate | Dermatan sulfate | Keratan sulfate | Aminoglycosides | Kanamycin | Streptomycin | Tobramycin | Neomycin | Paromomycin | Apramycin | Gentamicin | Netilmicin | Amikacin | biochemicals | Saccharides | Glycosides | Amino acids | Peptides | Proteins | Glycoproteins | Lipids | Terpenes | Steroids | Carotenoids | Alkaloids | Nucleobases | Nucleic acids | Enzyme cofactors | Flavonoids | Polyketides | Tetrapyrroles | Categories | Carbohydrates | Nutrition | Articles to be expanded since June 2008 | All articles to be expanded |
