== == Lactose is a disaccharide sugar; a sugar composed of two monosaccharides. the two momosaccharides that make lactose are glucose and galactose. the enzyme lactase splits these two monosaccharides appart and they are easily digested. glucose can go directly into cells to be used as energy but galactose must be converted into glucose by the liver first.
Lactose is digested by the liver and converted into energy and waste, just as is most other things you ingest. It gives energy to the creb's cycle, which is a major energy provider in the body. (However lactose doesn't provide very much energy at all)
What else can I help you with?
When digested yields galactose?
Lactose
WHen digested what yields galactose?
Lactose
What does maltose yield when digested?
Lactose and Glucose
What happen to lactose that is not digested in the small intestine?
A: Lactose, or milk sugar, is digested by the enzyme lactase. Lactase is produced in the small intestine. It catalyses (speeds up) the digestion of lactose into two smaller sugars, glucose and galactose.
How does the body absorb lactose?
Lactose is made up of glucose and galactose. They are two mono-sugars or monosaccharides. Lactase is the enzyme present in the brush border of your intestine. It breaks up the lactose into mono-sugars and then absorbs the same.
What carbohydrate that cannot be digested by human digestive enzymes?
Celulose. Some humans also cannot digest lactose aka someone who is lactose intolerant.
Is milk supposed to be digested?
Yes, milk is meant to be digested, as it is a source of essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamins. However, some individuals may have difficulty digesting lactose, the sugar found in milk, due to lactose intolerance. This can lead to digestive discomfort and symptoms such as bloating or gas. For those who can digest it, milk can be a beneficial part of a balanced diet.
What can not be digested as you do not have the right enzmes?
Lactose, a sugar found in dairy products, cannot be digested properly if the body does not produce enough lactase enzyme. This can lead to digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea in individuals who are lactose intolerant.
Do Germans drink milk?
Adult dogs are lactose intolerant, so excess amounts of milk are not properly digested and often lead to diarrhea and upset stomachs.
Is turkey hot dog with mustard would be hard for lactose intolerant to digested that food?
No not at all unless the hot dog bread was made with milk. But no worries most of them are not. I am lactose intolerant myself an have eaten plenty of hot dogs and have never bee bothered by one.
Why is milk sweet in taste?
That's because the lactose is broken down into two other easily digested sugars which are sweeter: breaks into galactose and glucose... this occurs through hydrolysis in the milk prior to drinking it ( because lactase is found in the milk, which contains lactose), thus creating a sweeter milk).
What is lactose used for?
Lactose is the sugar found when milk and milk products are digested. Most babies tolerate lactose very well, but many adults find themselves missing the enzyme needed to digest lactose; causing severe gas, cramping and dumping syndrome, whenever they eat dairy, due to the inability to break down the milk sugar.The product called Lactaid is an enzyme that will allow those who are lactose intolerant, to consume dairy products with out discomfort. It works by helping the digestion of milk sugar.
