Question

Lily visits her family doctor because she experiences an upset stomach after drinking milk. The doctor tells her that this symptom is caused by a lack of the enzyme lactase. Lactase breaks down lactose, the sugar in milk which is made of several parts. What does lactose break down into? A. monosaccharides B. amino acids C. fatty acids D. nucleotides

Answer 1

Before lactose can be absorbed, it must bebroken down into the smaller monosaccharides. In order to do this, the small intestine produces an enzyme calledlactase. The job of lactase is to attach itself to the lactose molecule and hydrolyze it intoglucose and galactose
