Lactase. (the suffix- ase means an enzyme)
Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose.
The enzyme sucrase breaks down sucrose. Glucose and fructose are the products of this chemical reaction.
as a general rule, anything ending in -ase is an enzyme, so lactase is an enzyme that breaks down molecules of lactose
Lactase is the bodily enzyme that breaks down Lactose, a sugar found in milk.
Lactose is digested in the small intestine by an enzyme called lactase. Lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. These simple sugars are then used by the body for energy.

The enzyme sucrase breaks down sucrose. Glucose and fructose are the products of this chemical reaction.
lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and glucose monomers.
as a general rule, anything ending in -ase is an enzyme, so lactase is an enzyme that breaks down molecules of lactose
it breaks down the lactose protein.
Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk. This allows lactose intolerant individuals to drink the lactose free (or reduced lactose) milk.
Yes; Lactase is an enzyme (protein) that breaks down the sugar lactose found in milk.
No. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose, which is a sweetener, sort of: it's a type of sugar.
as a general rule, anything ending in -ase is an enzyme, so lactase is an enzyme that breaks down molecules of lactose
Lactase is the bodily enzyme that breaks down Lactose, a sugar found in milk.
It needs to code for the enzyme lactase in its DNA, which in turn breaks the bond between the two sugars in lactose
Milk naturally contains the sugar lactose. Lactose-free milk is made by 'pre-digesting' the lactose in the milk. This is done by adding the enzyme lactase to the milk. The enzyme breaks down the lactose and people who can't digest lactose properly (lactose intolerance) can drink the milk without side-effects.
