Is lactose intolerance considered a disease?
I wouldn't say that it's a "disease." I am a lactose intolerant myself. I don't believe it's considered to be a disease unless they have shown studies or tried studies to CURE it or PREVENT it to where you CAN have lactose intake.
What is enzyme products?
Enzymes are complex proteins that exist in plants, animals and humans. In Biological terms enzymes function as biological catalysts (they make biological processes happen). In Chemistry catalysts often are metals like nickel or palladium (i.e the catalytic converter in your car). In the chemical industry catalysts are used to initiate, speed up or slow down a reaction. In Biological processes, enzymes or "bio-catalysts" are used to initiate a reaction or more simply put, to accomplish some kind of task. A good example is the enzyme "Lactase" which is used in the product called "Lactaid" (milk). All milk contains the sugar lactose which is said to cause digestive upset (lactose intolerance) in some people. The enzyme "Lactase" acts upon the lactose in milk and converts it to another sugar called galactose and one or two other harmless components rendering the milk "lactose free". LACTAID is REAL milk which has had lactose removed because of the action of the enzyme....Lactase was resonsible for the biological reaction that converted lactose to other sugars which do not cause digestive upset.
What are the elements in lactose?
Lactose, or milk sugar, is a disaccharide. This means that it consists of two sugar molecules. The molecules in lactose are galactose and glucose, both of which are monosaccharides.Both monosaccharides and disaccharides are considered simple sugars, or simple carbohydrates.

What are you considered if you have a inability or difficulty digesting the sugar found in milk?
lactose intolerant
What biological compound are hormones considered?
Lipids
What does the suffix tase mean?
"ase" is often used in biological systems where a substance is broken down. Lactose in milk is broken down by lact"ase". "ase" is usually an indicator of a certain biological enzyme made of protein.
Is baby formula milk considered as dairy product?
only if it is lactose based
What are some biological enzymes?
All enzymes are biological, strictly speaks they are conducting biochemical reactions in the living cells. Classical example would beta galactosidase enzyme catalyse the hydrolytic break down of Lactose into Galactose and Glucose
What is considered a biological physics botany or astronomy?
Botany.
The smallest biological unit that can be considered to be alive?
cell
Does milk fat contain lactose?
Lactose, or milk sugar, is a natural component of milk. In regular milk, the lactose portion is 5%. In butter, the lactose portion is about 0.1%. Therefore, butter cannot be considered lactose-free.
