Lactase is a protein enzyme that digests (breaks down) lactose (milk sugar) into glucose and. galactose (smaller sugars). The chemical equation below illustrates what happens when the. enzyme lactase digests lactose (milk sugar).
the active site on the lactase enzyme would decrease the rate of lactose digestion. â¢ Enzymes are specific. They will only work on certain substrates. Explain why lactase can digest lactose but cannot digest other double sugars such as sucrose or maltose. Lactase Enzyme Sucrose âDoubleâ Sugar Maltose âDoubleâ Sugar
