the enzyme is not the right shape for sucrose
What else can I help you with?
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.
Examples of disaccharides?
The two main categories of sugars are monosaccharides and disaccharides. Three common disaccharides are sucrose, maltose and lactose.
What are fructose lactose and sucrose?
Fructose, lactose, and sucrose are all types of sugars. Fructose is a simple sugar found in fruits and honey. Lactose is a sugar found in milk and dairy products. Sucrose, also known as table sugar, is a combination of glucose and fructose found in sugarcane, sugar beets, and many fruits and vegetables.
How does sucrose differ from lactose and maltose?
sucrose is table sugar and its formula is C 12 H 22 O 11. Surose is formed by plants. Lactose is also called milk sugar. While lactose has the same formula as sucrose, Lactose is produced in the mammary glands (of animals) during lactation.
Which enzyme converts lactose to glucose and lactose?
The enzyme that converts lactose to glucose and galactose is lactase. Lactase is located in the brush border of the small intestine where it breaks down lactose into its two component sugars, glucose and galactose, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream.
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.
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 sucrose and lactose?
They are carbohydrates - fructose is a monosaccharide and lactose and sucrose are disaccharides.
Is P vulgaris a lactose fermenter?
Yes, P. vulgaris is a lactose non-fermenter. It does not possess the enzyme beta-galactosidase needed to ferment lactose into glucose and galactose. Instead, it typically ferments sugars like glucose and sucrose.
Which monosaccharide is found in sucrose lactose and maltose?
The monosaccharide found in sucrose, lactose, and maltose is glucose.
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.
What digest milk sugar?
The enzyme lactose.Lactose.
Examples of disaccharides?
The two main categories of sugars are monosaccharides and disaccharides. Three common disaccharides are sucrose, maltose and lactose.
What is the product of hydrolysis of lactose and sucrose?
Hydrolysis of lactose yields glucose and galactose, while hydrolysis of sucrose yields glucose and fructose.
What enzyme digests Sucrose.?
the enzyme sucrase
What lack of enzyme cause lactose intolerance?
The enzyme which the body uses to digest lactose is lactase.
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.
