You seem to be asking which of those statements apply to lactose and to sucrose. Short answers:
- "has 12 carbon and 11 oxygen atoms" — True for both.
Both lactose and sucrose have the molecular formula C12H22O11 (so 12 C and 11 O).
- "is a disaccharide" — True for both.
Both are disaccharides (each is made of two monosaccharide units).
- "contains the monosaccharide fructose" — True for sucrose, False for lactose.
Sucrose = glucose + fructose. Lactose = glucose + galactose (no fructose).
If you want structural formulas or the specific linkage types (e.g., sucrose is Glc–Fru α(1→2) linkage; lactose is Gal–Glc β(1→4)), say so and I’ll add them.
