Concept introduction:

The food items contain different ingredients like carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. The digestive system contains bacteria like lactobacilli, which digest the lactose in the milk by secreting an enzyme called as laccase. The intakes of diet containing different amounts of food are digested only by the enzymes and not by the prokaryotic bacteria. This affects the health of the person.
