People with Crohn's disease may develop lactose intolerance caused by damage to their small intestine. These

people may take a commercial product called Lactaid to prevent digestive upset when consuming dairy prod-

ucts. What is in Lactaid that helps these people avoid those symptoms? Explain how this relates to what you

learned about the specificity of enzymes for substrates in this lab.

Lactase

Explanation:

Lactaid is a medication that contains the milk protein digesting enzyme Lactase. It is an enzyme supplement for those people who have trouble in digesting milk and other dairy products. Such condition occurs in Crohn's disease and termed as lactose intolerance. Lactase specifically acts on the lactose containing substrates and digests them by enzymatic activity. So people with lactose intolerance can be able to take dairy products with the help of Lactaid.

americans began to notice growing differences between the northern and southern sections of the country. there were more people living in cities in the north, which made it more urban. more people lived on farms in the south, which made it more rural. while many people were farmers in the northern states, there were now other ways to make a living, such as working in mechanical cotton gins factories manufacturing cloth, tools and other goods. people in the north supported high tariffs on goods imported from europe because the extra cost encouraged people to “buy american” instead. in the southern states, planters did not like tariffs because they sold most of their production to europe and bought their tools from there as well. southerners believed the protective tariff was something that only northern factory owners keep their profits high. so the southern politicians came up with an idea. they would opt out. they would simply ignore the protective tariff. it was ‘null and void’ in south carolina. the state would not collect the taxes on goods imported into south carolina, no matter what the president said they had to do. this decision led to the nullification crisis.
