Answer:

the biomolecule is something called enzymes also known as protein.

Step-by-step explanation:

An enzyme that is located in our small intestine called lactase breaks down the lactose into two parts. Only after the two sugars (glucose and galactose) have been separated can then they be absorbed by our bowel.
