How does the body absorb lactose?
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.
Which enzyme converts lactose to glucose and lactose?
Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose.
Whats the function of the lactase substrate?
Lactase is the bodily enzyme that breaks down Lactose, a sugar found in milk.
What is the name of the Digextive Enzyme that breaksdown Lactose?
lactase
What enzyme act on Lactose?
Rennet is a complex of enzymes that digest milk, the primary enzyme being chymosin or rennin.
What lack of enzyme cause lactose intolerance?
The enzyme which the body uses to digest lactose is lactase.
Why doesnt the lactase in lactose intolerant people work?
Lactose intolerant people have a deficiency of an enzyme called lactase, which breaks up the lactose into two monosaccharides called galactose and glucose. These two are easily digestable, whereas lactose is not.

Which enzyme converts lactose to glucose and lactose?
Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose.
What chemical reaction does lactase catalyze?
Acetal formation (glycosidic linkage) between glucose and galactose by condensation reaction.It can also be seen as dimerisation of two monosaccharides (Glu + Gal) to one disaccharide(Lactose is: β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucose)
If you are lactose intolerentwhat enzyme are you lacking?
Lactase
People with lactose intolerance produce insufficient amounts of?
the enzyme, lactase
Whats the function of the lactase substrate?
Lactase is the bodily enzyme that breaks down Lactose, a sugar found in milk.
What is the name of the Digextive Enzyme that breaksdown Lactose?
lactase
What is the name of the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of lactose.?
lactase
What happens when milk is treated with lactase?
Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk. This allows lactose intolerant individuals to drink the lactose free (or reduced lactose) milk.
Why did the enzyme lactase react with lactose but not sucrose?
Because, lactase breaks beta(1-4) glycosidic bonds between a galactose and a glucose, while sucrose molecule is formed by a dimer of a glucose and a fructose linked by an alpha(1-2) glycosidic bond.
