Some people develop lactose intolerance as they grow older and the amount of lactase enzyme in their gut diminishes. Since the enzyme is commonly found in the gut of humans it can withstand a pH that is very acidic, ranging from a pH of 2-7. A student decided to do an experiment to determine how the pH of a solution affects lactase enzyme activity. Lactase works by breaking lactose into its two component sugars of glucose and galactose. To conduct the experiment the student prepared a solution of lactose and placed it into 5 different test tubes. A pH buffer solution was then added to each test tube with a pH of 2.0 in the first tube, 4.0 in the second, 6.0 in the third, 8.0 in the fourth, and a 10 pH in the fifth. Next, the enzyme lactase was added in equal amounts to each test tube and allowed to sit for ten minutes white the enzyme reacted with the lactose. At the end of the ten…arrow_forward
