Introduction: Enzymes are essential to the proper functioning of the human body. Enzymes are catalysts, which cause reactions to occur. The two primary classes of enzymes for maintaining life functions are digestive and metabolic enzymes. The primary digestive enzymes are classified as proteases, amylases and lipases. These enzymes can help breakdown food molecules. Metabolic enzymes are responsible for the repairing and structuring of every cell. Inadequate production of digestive enzymes can

cells. If Con A is biologically active it is able to agglutinate the red blood cells. If Con A is inactive it results in no agglutination. Partial agglutination is another possible result. Our experimental variables were Con A + mannose and Con A + galactose. Ultimately we were comparing our purified Con A sample activity to a controlled Con A

Abstract: Enzymes catalyze reactions, by lowering the activation energy of the transition state. This allows the substrate to get to the transition state more quickly than without the enzyme, thereby forming product more often. The experiment begins with questions about environmental changes that an enzyme may encounter, in particular what would these environmental factors do to the enzyme β-Galactosidase, which was the enzyme tested. The effectiveness of β-gal was tested against substrate specificity

2017 -General Description of Disease Lactose intolerance is a disorder where the body has a decreased ability to digest a sugar in milk products called lactose due to lack of the enzyme lactase found in the duodenum, which breaks down lactase into galactose and glucose. This disorder is more common in adults, and mostly occurs in Asia and Africa, where lactose intolerance is as high as 95% in some parts. In northern Europe however, this disorder occurs in less than 10% of the population. People who

I. Science Fair question How do digestive enzymes convert sucrose and lactose into glucose? II. Background Research Do you enjoy eating smoothies packed full of berries and other tasty fruits? This paper is going to discuss how digestive enzymes convert sucrose and lactose into glucose. The following terms will be discussed: Sugar, Carbohydrates, Sucrose, and Glucose. Any of a class of crystalline carbohydrates, such as sucrose, glucose, or lactose, that dissolves in water and has the characteristic

Breast cancer exists today as a vicious disease which has multiple facets for killing its host. The largest indicator of survival rate is length of time alive after diagnosis with the disease, and then whether or not the disease has metastasized to a new location in the body. For breast cancer patients, the 5-year survival rate of patients below Stage 4 is 90%. The stages below the 4 stage represent the stages where the breast cancer has not metastasized into other regions of the body. When breast

this lab meets the minimum number of lactic acid bacteria to bear the seal of “Live & Active Cultures,” which mean they have at least 10^8 colony-forming units(CFU) per gram to quality. Unknown “ ” is Gram positive, rod-shaped, and use salicin, galactose, sucrose, mannitol, and mannose for fermentation. The characteristics of the result suggest that the unknown “ ” can be identified as Lactobacillus casei. Introduction

broken down into simple sugars (monosaccharides) then digested/absorbed. In order to do this, the small intestine produces an enzyme called lactase. What lactase does is attaches itself to the lactose molecule and breaks it down into glucose and galactose. These molecules aren’t as big or complicated so they’re easily absorbed by the small intestine and into the bloodstream. Lactose Intolerance is when the body doesn’t actually produce the lactase enzyme, so the lactose can’t be broken down and absorbed

Although the science behind it has to do with different ‘‘nutrients’’found in milk. The phosphate, dietary high in milk, D-galactose or also commonly known as galactose. Is a natural D formed phosphate created from lactose. The phosphate has been used in a series of studies to prove the bad effects of milk. Studies have been conducted on lab rats and mice, proving that D-galactose is bad for human bodies. The phosphate has been used as an ageing model, that has fasten the life span of lab mice. Not
