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 type of organic molecule is lactase?
Lactose is a carbohydrate and is an organic compound.
Does liver tissue contain a catalyst?
No, the liver tissue contains an enzyme, which are a type of catalyst. Enzymes are organic and are made in living organisms where as catalyst aren't made of carbon and are not made by living organisms.
What is the purpose of lactase?
When we use the "ase" ending for a chemical, especially in a biological sense, we are talking about an enzyme. Which is a protein that enables a chemical change not otherwise possible. It is a biological catalyst. Each single reaction that requires an enzyme is different so there is a different enzyme for every kind of reaction needed! We name the enzymes after the chemical they act on. Cellulase is a chemical produced by cows that acts on cellulose (see how similar they look?) which is the main structural component of plants. (By the way, the "ose" ending means a starch or a sugar, like glucose, fructose, amylose....) This allows the cow to digest tough plant material that humans would need to cook before eating (leaves) or cannot eat at all (hay.)

The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.

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 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 is the bond type of lactose?
Lactase
What type of organic molecule is lactase?
Lactose is a carbohydrate and is an organic compound.
What enzymes digest protein?
Enzymes dont digest proteins they act as cataylst to break down the protein, there is a difference. :D As one enzyme is specifc to one type of protein, there are a wide variety of them, For example. Amylose (in out saliva) is catalyst by amylase the enzyme. Lactose in dairy is cataylsed by the enzyme lactase. And Cellulose (in plant cell walls) is catalysted by Celluase.
Lactase amylase cellulase are what type of molecules?
Each of these is an enzyme which speeds up a reaction in breaking down a substrate. Lactase helps in breaking down lactose, amylase helps with amylose, and cellulase helps with cellulose. All of these substrates are sugars.
Does liver tissue contain a catalyst?
No, the liver tissue contains an enzyme, which are a type of catalyst. Enzymes are organic and are made in living organisms where as catalyst aren't made of carbon and are not made by living organisms.
Which type of enzyme removes hair from skin?
The Enzyme Skin Peel is the type of enzyme that removes hair from the skin.
What type of enzyme is plasmin?
Blood enzyme
What type of cells are in the kingdom protozoa?
Single-cell eukaryotic organisms are present in kingdom protozoa.
