skin that act as thermal insulator.

Similarities: Student can write any of the following two

answers
 Both are disaccharides
½x2
 Both are soluble in water
=1
 Both have sweet taste
B  Both have low molecular weight
2  Both are tested by Benedict’s reagent

Difference:
Maltose is composed of 2 glucose molecules
Lactose is composed of glucose and galactose ½x2
Or =1
Glucose is barley sugar
Galactose is milk sugar
