Normally when a person eats something containing lactose, an enzyme in the small intestine called lactase breaks it down into simpler sugar forms called glucose and galactose. These simple sugars are then easily absorbed into the bloodstream and turned into energy — fuel for our bodies.

What Enzyme is Present in Lactaid?
The enzyme that breaks down lactose (milk sugar) is called lactase, and a deficiency can prevent the body from digesting lactose.The Lactaid supplements provide lactase. However the Lactaid brand dairy foods have already been processed to break down the lactose sugar, and do not provide the enzyme.
What does Escherichia coli need to break down lactose?
It needs to code for the enzyme lactase in its DNA, which in turn breaks the bond between the two sugars in lactose
What enzyme breaks down RNA?
Ribonuclease breaks down RNA
What enzyme breaks down corn?
Digestive enzymes are enzymes that break down food into usable energy. The digestive enzyme that breaks down corn is called xylanese. Humans lack this enzyme.
Which enzyme breaks down protein?
Pepsin is the enzyme that breaks proteins into peptides.
What do you call the Enzyme that breaks down dairy sugar?
lactase
Hwat is an enzyme that breaks down lactose?
Lactase. (the suffix- ase means an enzyme)
Which enzyme converts lactose to glucose and lactose?
Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose.
If lactase breaks down lactose and galactose then the enzyme sucrase breaks down?
The enzyme sucrase breaks down sucrose. Glucose and fructose are the products of this chemical reaction.
Is lactase a protein?
Yes; Lactase is an enzyme (protein) that breaks down the sugar lactose found in milk.
Is lactase a sweetener?
No. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose, which is a sweetener, sort of: it's a type of sugar.
What type of macromolecule is lactase?
as a general rule, anything ending in -ase is an enzyme, so lactase is an enzyme that breaks down molecules of lactose
What is accurate way for describing the activity of the lactase enzyme?
it breaks down the lactose protein.
Whats the function of the lactase substrate?
Lactase is the bodily enzyme that breaks down Lactose, a sugar found in milk.
Which enzyme catabolyzes lactose sugar into monosacharides?
lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and glucose monomers.
What type of biomelecule is lactose?
as a general rule, anything ending in -ase is an enzyme, so lactase is an enzyme that breaks down molecules of lactose
What enzyme(s) breaks down starch?
Salivary amylase in the mouth, and then maltase, sucrase and lactase in the small intestine.
