Yeh, Its An Active Enzyme, i Think Its Mostly Active In Heat; Not Too Sure Though
But It Is Definatley Active :)
The enzyme lactose.Lactose.
The enzyme which the body uses to digest lactose is lactase.
The enzyme that converts lactose to glucose and galactose is lactase. Lactase is located in the brush border of the small intestine where it breaks down lactose into its two component sugars, glucose and galactose, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream.
The negative control in the lactose experiment would be a sample that does not contain lactose or the enzyme needed to break down lactose. This control is used to show what would happen if no lactose were present for the enzyme to act on.
Lactose intolerance is the inability to efficiently convert lactose into glucose and galactose, a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme lactase. (A rule of thumb for enzyme nomenclature is that many enzyme names typically take most of the name of their substrate and slap an "-ase" at the end.)
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.
as a general rule, anything ending in -ase is an enzyme, so lactase is an enzyme that breaks down molecules of lactose
The enzyme that acts on lactose is called lactase. Lactase breaks down lactose into its component sugars, glucose and galactose, which can then be absorbed by the body. People who are lactose intolerant have low levels of lactase, leading to difficulty digesting lactose.
lacZ codes for the enzyme beta-galactosidase, which splits lactose into glucose plus galactose. lacY codes for a "permease" protein that allows lactose to enter the cell, and lacA codes for an enzyme that acetylates lactose.
When the enzyme lactase digests lactose, it breaks it down into two simpler sugars: glucose and galactose. These monosaccharides can then be easily absorbed by the body for energy. Lactase is particularly important for individuals with lactose intolerance, as they lack adequate levels of this enzyme to properly digest lactose.
Lactase. (the suffix- ase means an enzyme)
the enzyme is not the right shape for sucrose
