What else can I help you with?
Name digestive enzymes in mouth and stomach?
the enzyme produced in the stomach wall is mainly protease, this breaksdown the proteins in the food you have eaten
What is Lactose?
Well 'lactose' is the name of the sugar found in milk.The other names are: milk sugarand officially (IUPAC): β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1->4)-D-glucose
How do you say enzyme?
Enzymes are named by the reaction it catalyzes.
What is the scientific name of milk sugar?
The sugar in milk is lactose.
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.)
What is the name of the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of lactose.?
lactase
What enzyme is person who is lactose intolerant missing?
Lactose intolerance is the inability to efficiently convert lactose into glucose and galactose, a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme lactase. (A rule of thumb for enzyme nomenclature is that many enzyme names typically take most of the name of their substrate and slap an "-ase" at the end.)
Where does lactase help the body do?
Any enzyme has -ase at the end of it's name. The first part of the name is what it acts on or what its' substrate is. Lact- means milk sugar. This enzyme breaks down milk sugar (lactose) into simpler sugars that can be absorbed by the body. Some people are lacking in the enzyme (they don't make it) and are said to lactose intolerant. The two sugars are used by the cell for energy.
What is the name of the condition when you cant tolerate cows milk?
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, which is found in dairy products.
Name digestive enzymes in mouth and stomach?
the enzyme produced in the stomach wall is mainly protease, this breaksdown the proteins in the food you have eaten
What do you think the molecules are with the -ase endings on them?
-ase is a common suffix used to name various enzymes. So, as an example, a nuclease is an enzyme that cleaves nucleic acids and a telomerase is an enzyme that extends the telomeres. Both produce different outcomes yet both end with -ase.

What name is given for the following reaction of galactose plus glucose plus lactose plus water?
The reaction of galactose plus glucose plus lactose plus water typically describes the hydrolysis of lactose, which is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose. In this reaction, the enzyme lactase catalyzes the breakdown of lactose into its constituent monosaccharides, galactose and glucose, in the presence of water. The overall process is called hydrolysis, specifically of lactose, leading to the release of its monosaccharide components.

What name is given to lactose plus water?
