This passage describes a chemical reaction. Read the passage. Then, answer the question
below.
The cheesemaking process sometimes includes a step called lactic acid fermentation.
This step occurs when a certain type of bacteria is added to milk. The bacteria form
lactic acid (C3H603) by combining water (H₂O) and lactose (C12H22011) in the milk.
When lactic acid forms, the milk's proteins clump into curds that can later be used to
make many types of cheese.
In the chemical reaction described in the passage, which of the following are reactants?
Select all that apply.
water (H₂O)
lactose (C12H22011)
