The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Lactose is hydrolysed into," we need to understand the composition of lactose and the process of hydrolysis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Composition of Lactose**: - Lactose is a disaccharide, which means it is made up of two monosaccharide units. 2. **Know the Monosaccharides in Lactose**: - The two monosaccharides that make up lactose are glucose and galactose. 3. **Understand the Hydrolysis Process**: - Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which water is used to break down a compound. In the case of lactose, it is hydrolyzed by the enzyme lactase. 4. **Determine the Products of Hydrolysis**: - When lactose is hydrolyzed, it breaks down into its constituent monosaccharides: glucose and galactose. 5. **Evaluate the Options Given**: - (a) Glucose + Fructose - Incorrect (this is the product of sucrose hydrolysis) - (b) Fructose only - Incorrect - (c) Glucose + Galactose - Correct - (d) Glucose only - Incorrect 6. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is (c) Glucose + Galactose. ### Final Answer: (c) Glucose + Galactose
