what does lactose help digest?
chyme
milk sugar
lipid
protein
Lactase is an enzyme. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in the body. Lactase specifically acts on lactose. Lactose is a disaccharide (a type of sugar) found in milk, often referred to as milk sugar. When lactose is broken down by lactase, it is converted into glucose and galactose (two simpler sugars that can be absorbed by the body). Chyme is the semi - fluid mass of partly digested food that is expelled by the stomach, into the duodenum (the start of the small intestine). Lipids (fats) are digested by enzymes like lipase. Proteins are digested by enzymes such as pepsin (in the stomach) and trypsin (in the small intestine).
