<span>Lactase is a digestive enzyme that catalyzes the break down of lactose, a sugar found in milk. Lactase functions best within limited ranges of both temperature and pH in its given environment, making it dependent on both factors for it to perform this essential reaction. If lactase is rendered nonfunctional because of temperature or pH extremes, the breakdown of lactose stops. When this breakdown ceases in the human body due to insufficient or ineffective lactase, the result is lactose intolerance.</span>

Nina [5.8K]

Answer: feed-back

When the product of a metabolic pathway accumulates, it may be able to slow down or turn off the pathway by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme that catalyzes an early step in the pathway. This is referred to as feed-back inhibition.

Explanation:

Feed-back inhibition is said to occur when the final product of a biochemical pathway signal the inactivation of the starting materials of the pathway.

For example: when pyruvate signal the inactivation of phosphofructokinase, the glycolytic pathway gets turned off.
