Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
All enzymes end in-ase. Which means that lactose (a carb) is broken down by which enzyme?
A
Galactase
B
Sucrase
C
Lactase
D
Fructase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lactose is a sugar found in milk and milk products. Lactose intolerance happens when your small intestine does not make enough of a digestive enzyme called lactase. Lactase breaks down the lactose in food so your body can absorb it.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lactose digestion occurs in the small intestine with the help of the enzyme known as lactase. Lactase breaks down lactose into the monosaccharides galactose and glucose, which makes them available for absorption.

Detailed explanation-3: -The body digests lactose using a substance called lactase. This breaks down lactose into two sugars called glucose and galactose, which can be easily absorbed into the bloodstream. People with lactose intolerance don’t produce enough lactase, so lactose stays in the digestive system where it’s fermented by bacteria.
