2. Mouth I m not sure for the answer may it help you

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is 3) Small intestine

Explanation:

• Lactose sugar is present in the milk, therefore to digest it an enzyme is required which is known as lactase.
• The lactose sugar in milk cannot be directly absorbed by the small intestine without digesting it.
• Brush border cells in the baby's body produce lactose which will be present in the small intestine.
• The lactose is hydrolyzed (digested) by lactase enzyme into simple sugars, glucose and galactose which can be easily absorbed by the small intestine.
• Lactose is a disaccharide carbohydrate, glucose and galactose are monosaccharides carbohydrate.

• Hence lactose is digested and absorbed maximum in small intestine.
