Answer: no

Explanation: lactose is similar to sucrose, lactase will break down only lactose because of the shape of the sugar.

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

Sucrase breaks down sucrose (or “table sugar”) into glucose and fructose, and lactase breaks down lactose (or “milk sugar”) into glucose and galactose.
