Is lactase a nucleic acid?
No it is an enzyme.
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.
How should lactase enzyme tablets be taken?
Chewable lactase enzyme tablets are also available. Three to six tablets taken before a meal or snack will aid in the digestion of solid foods.
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 enzyme would catalyze the breakdown of a disaccharide?
Modern enzymes are usually named by incorporating the name of the polymer hydrolyzed and the suffix "-ase". So following those rules, the enzyme that breaks down lactose is lactase.
What lack of enzyme cause lactose intolerance?
The enzyme which the body uses to digest lactose is lactase.
What is function of lactase?
Lactase is a digestive enzyme that is produced by the small intestine. The prime function of lactase is to digest a sugar compound called lactose. Yap, lactase is an enzyme that breaks down the disaccharide lactose yielding an end-product of glucose and galactose. It is important in digestion because the action of lactase yields glucose which is the primary sugar in the blood.

People with lactose intolerance produce insufficient amounts of?
the enzyme, lactase
What do you call the Enzyme that breaks down dairy sugar?
lactase
Is lactase a nucleic acid?
No it is an enzyme.
What enzyme act on Lactose?
Rennet is a complex of enzymes that digest milk, the primary enzyme being chymosin or rennin.
What is the enzyme responsible for breaking down milk sugar?
Lactose is a sugar that is broken down by an enzyme called lactase. This enzyme is produced by cells in the intestinal wall. Some groups of people become lastose intolerant by 2-3 years old. See link below:
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
Which of the following is a brush border enzyme?
lactase
If you are lactose intolerentwhat enzyme are you lacking?
Lactase
Is lactase a protein?
Yes; Lactase is an enzyme (protein) that breaks down the sugar lactose found in milk.
