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.
What are fructose lactose and sucrose?
They are carbohydrates - fructose is a monosaccharide and lactose and sucrose are disaccharides.
Which enzyme converts lactose to glucose and lactose?
Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose.
What does galactose and fructose make?
Lactose
Examples of disaccharides?
The two main categories of sugars are monosaccharides and disaccharides. Three common disaccharides are sucrose, maltose and lactose.
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.
What are sucrose and lactose?
They are carbohydrates - fructose is a monosaccharide and lactose and sucrose are disaccharides.
What are fructose lactose and sucrose?
They are carbohydrates - fructose is a monosaccharide and lactose and sucrose are disaccharides.
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.
What does it mean when it says enzymes are specific?
Enzymes are highly specific in their action. For example, enzyme maltase acts on sugar maltose and not on lactose or sucrose. Different enzymes may act on the same substrate but give rise to different products. For example, raffinose gives rise to melibiose and fructose in the presnce of enzyme sucrase while in the presence of enzyme melibiase it produces lactose and sucrose. Similarly an enzyme may act on different substrates like sucrase can act on both sucrose and raffinose producing different end products.
Why does sucrase not hydrolyse lactose?
"because the reaction is to slow to make an effect, if a enzyme is added then it can hydrolyse lactose but it can take more than 6 years without the addition of an enzyme" Is bull**** the real answer is because the active site of the two substances are different and so the sucrase becasue Lactose has a different shape/structure which does not fit/bind to active site of enzyme/sucrase.
Which enzyme converts lactose to glucose and lactose?
Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose.
What does galactose and fructose make?
Lactose
Examples of disaccharides?
The two main categories of sugars are monosaccharides and disaccharides. Three common disaccharides are sucrose, maltose and lactose.
What digest milk sugar?
The enzyme lactose.Lactose.
What is the least cariogenic sugar of sucrose lactose and fructose?
lactose
What does sucrase breakdown?
Sucrose is not an enzyme it is a disaccharide sugar made from one glucose and one fructose. Sucrase, on the other hand, is an enzyme that digests sucrose into one glucose and one fructose molecules. Hope that helps.
