When someone is lactose intolerant, it means its intestine cannot absorb lactose, which will stay in the lumen and be consumed by intestinal bacteria and produced gases, that's why intolerant lactose people have flatulence and abdominal pain while eating food with lactose in it.
Let's go back to the question, before being consumed, lactose in the lumen intestine will attract water from the enterocytes to its side by oncotic pressure.

Do not confound oncotic pressure (which concerns macromolecules like sugar or proteins) and osmotic pressure (which concern micromolecules like small ions (sodium potassium and chloride...)).

The pKa for the side chain of histidine is 6.0. What is the ratio of the deprotonated imidazole side chain to the protonated sid
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

When the pKa is 6.0, we can determine the fraction of protonated H is by:

pH = pKa + log [A]/[HA]

Where

A = Deprotonated imidazole side

HA = Protonated side

Given, pH = 5.0

5 = 6 + log [A]/[HA]

log [A]/[HA] = -1 (take antilog of both side)

[A]/[HA] = 0.1

The ratio of the deprotonated imidazole side chain to the protonated side chain at pH 5.0 = 0.1

Given, pH = 7.5

7.5 = 6 + log [A]/[HA]

log [A]/[HA] = 1.5 (take antilog of both sides)

[A]/[HA] = 31.62

The ratio of the deprotonated imidazole side chain to the protonated side chain at pH 5.0 = 31.62

What are the differences between aggregate fruit and multiple fruit ​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Aggregate fruit is a fruit that develops from several ovaries forming one flower. An example of an aggregate fruit is a raspberry. Multiple fruit is fruit that develops from a cluster of flowers, and each flower produces a fruit, which turns into a mass of a singular fruit. An example of multiple fruit is a pineapple. Each "cube" of a pineapple is a separate fruit formed from a single flower, yet the pineapple as a whole is one mass of pineapple.

Is Suvival SelfishIs Suvival Selfish?
Alina [70]

Answer:

And it makes sense that some people, seemingly surviving by dumb luck, would feel they acted selfishly in not trying to help those less fortunate. It definitely is selfish to act that way; to put one's own survival ahead of others
