lactose is a disaccharide commonly known as the dairy/milk sugar. some people are diagnosed lactose intolerant meaning they cannot digest lactose. what reason best describes why they cannot digest lactose? they dont like the taste and texture of milk or dairy products they lack the enzyme, lactase, that breaks lactose into glucose and galactose they are missing the phospholipids that transport the glucose from the milk into their cells
Lactase is the enzyme needed to break down lactose. Lactose - intolerant individuals lack this enzyme, preventing lactose digestion. Disliking taste/texture has no relation to digestion, and phospholipids are not involved in lactose digestion.
