The cells of the body are perfectly capable of making proteins with a life span of many months, still the cells make proteins which are short-lived. On one hand, they make proteins like hemoglobin having a life span of approximately 120 days, and on the other hand, it makes proteins with life span of few days, such as a tumor suppressor protein. The short lived proteins have their own advantage, as they allow the cells to control their function, and amount precisely.

5 Why is it easier to digest sour milk than fresh milk?​
Katyanochek1 [597]

Sour milk contains less lactose than the fresh milk, as the sour milk gets converted to lactic acid and bacteria which enhances the digestion process. One important reason is that proteins take more time in getting digest than other nutrients. We know that fresh milk has a large amount of lactose.

Explanation:

The lactic acid bacteria have many benefits. They improve lactose digestion in the stomach. The lactase activity of the bacteria performs  the task of digesting lactose in the product once it reaches the intestine thus fuelling the process of digestion in case of sour milk.

In fresh milk, the casein protein in contact with milk forms curdles which are difficult to digest.
