Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

Galactose is only found as part of milk sugar-lactose. Galactose is released from lactose which is galactose bound to glucose. The lactase enzyme of the small intestine breaks down lactose into galactose and glucose. The galactose is absorbed directly into the blood and is converted to glucose in the liver. It is not found anywhere else in foods.
