Best Answer: Probably the same as any other major... probably even shorter than some (such as pre-med), so 4 years. For my school, you need Intro, Research Methods ...
Digestion of foods in the small intestine. The small intestine continues the process of digestion and various enzymes are present there to break starches down further. These enzymes are called disaccharidases. The best known is lactase, which is the enzyme necessary to digest milk sugar. This enzyme is normally present in all young mammals who need this to digest mother's breast milk. With age and as breast feeding finishes, production of this enzyme ceases for life.
The enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose is lactase, an enzyme found on the wall of the intestines. Lactase breaks down lactose (the sugar found in milk) into galactose and glucose. The activity of lactase becomes reduced after breastfeeding, at that point the body no longer needs as much lactase. Not to mention a human mothers milk is much different from the milk of a cow.
