A sugar of animal origin is:
Correct answer: C. Lactose
- A. Fructose
- B. DHAP
- C. Lactose
- D. PGA
Explanation
The correct answer is Lactose. Lactose is a disaccharide sugar consisting of glucose and galactose. It is predominantly found in milk and dairy products, thus making it a sugar of animal origin.Fructose is a monosaccharide found in plants, particularly fruits, and not of animal origin. DHAP is not a sugar but a metabolic intermediate in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, and it is not specific to animals. PGA refers to phosphoglyceric acid, which is involved in photosynthesis in plants, not in animals.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
