Will lactase, the enzyme that digested the ice cream's lactose, also work on the lactose found in cheese?

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because lactose found in any dairy product will always have the same molecular structure. The lactase enzyme breaks down lactose because of how it is structured, so it does not matter where the lactose comes from.
