Firstly, I think you phrased this question wrong because lactose is a substrate. It is the job of lactase (and enzyme) to break down lactose. Some people are lactose intolerant because their bodies do not have enough lactase enzymes to break down lactose.

What is the purpose of lactose in the macconkey agar?

Lactase is an enzyme, it wraps around the lactose (the part that wraps around the lactose is known as the active site) substrate and cuts it up into smaller pieces galactose and glucose

lactose
What is a source of lactose?
Lactose is also called "milk sugar" because it comes from milk. Think LACTose, like in lactate, lactation, etc.
Can milk be non-lactose?
Milk naturally contains the sugar lactose. Lactose-free milk is made by 'pre-digesting' the lactose in the milk. This is done by adding the enzyme lactase to the milk. The enzyme breaks down the lactose and people who can't digest lactose properly (lactose intolerance) can drink the milk without side-effects.
