Next to water, the most abundant substance in cow's milk is?
calcium. b. vitamin D. c. fat. d. lactose. e. maltose.
Answers:
Cow's milk contains, besides water, approximately 4.6% lactose sugar, 3.6% milkfat (depending on the grade of milk), 3.4% protein (casein), as well as trace amounts of minerals and vitamins..
The other respondents are not correct, lactose is more abundant than milkfat is (D)
If you are interested, you can look on the nutrition label, which will give you the relative amounts of protein, lactose and other sugars, and milkfat in one serving....

fat
It is fat, then protein.
The major constituents of milk include:
Water
Fat, the principle energy component
Carbohydrates, mostly in the form of the sugar lactose
Protein
Minerals and vitamins
Water
So the answer is: C
It fluctuates seasonally and with the cattle's breed type and condition, but with 4.8g/100g each for sugars (lactose) and carbohydrates, it would be a draw.for the sample quoted in source (1) below. It also depends on how you wish to categorise and rubricise constituents, e.g. are fat and fatty acids one constituent or several discreet ones?
The main components of milk, aside from water, are the sugar lactose, the casein proteins, and fats.
I would say C because calorie is the 2nd main companent in milk.
besides the ones you said i say protein.
