Lactase is an enzyme that is produced in the lining of the intestines. this enzyme the body speed up the breakdown of carbohydrates that are found in dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese. which general function does lactase perform? fighting disease creating movement regulating cell processes sending chemical messages

the answer is regulating cell processes (c)

Regulating cell processes

Explanation:

The main function of lactase is the regulation of cellular processes. This is because it is possible for the cell to break down lactose (carbohydrate present in milk) into small molecules. Lactose is a complex molecule to be absorbed by the body. For this reason, it is necessary for lactase to promote its breakdown within a metabolic process within the cell.

If the body does not produce enough lactase, lactose will not be digested and will start a fermentation process that can cause stomach problems.
