Why does lactase deficiency lead to the retention of lactose within the small intestine and prevent transport across the intesti

nal lumen?
Biology

Tresset [83]4 years ago

Answer:

Basically,<u> Lactose </u>a disaccharides of (glucose and galactose) cannot directly be absorbed through the  wall of small intestine  to reach the blood stream. Usually they are hydrolyzed by LACTASE enzyme  to the constituents   monosaccharides which are readily absorbed through the walls of the small intestine.  

Therefore, in absence or lack of lactase, there is retention/accumulation of intact / unmetabolized   Lactose in the lumen of small intestine, which eventually moved into the COLON.

Intestinal bacterial in the colon breaks down(metabolize) the colon lactose  by fermentation, with the by products of CO2, H2, and CH4.

These gaseous by products lead to different abdominal symptoms(bloating, flatulence) experienced  by   individuals with Lactose tolerance.

Consequently,the increase solute potential of the colon raises the osmotic pressure (since the water potential is very low). These gradients draw water in by Osmosis with the bowel filled with water. leading to swelling

how the cells in your body are different from one another. Look at the different types of cells above, and make a list of how th
kotegsom [21]

Answer: Different cells have different jobs to do. Each cell has a size and shape that is suited to its job. Cells that do the same job combine together to form body tissue, such as muscle, skin, or bone tissue. Groups of different types of cells make up the organs in your body, such as your heart, liver, or lungs.Differentiation means that one cell performs a different function than another cell, depending on where it is in your body. ... All the cells contain the same genetic material and all of them are from one original cell that started as a fertilized egg, but they look different and act different from one another. Under a microscope, fat cells look like bulbous little spheres. Like other cells in the body, each has a cell membrane and a nucleus, but their bulk is made up of droplets of stored triglycerides, each of which consists of three fatty-acid molecules attached to a single glycerol molecule. Skin cells are specialized to be quickly shed and replaced, and do not have much mitochondria (which helps produce energy). Muscle cells, conversely, have lots of mitochondria because they need energy to produce movement. Unlike many other cells, red blood cells have no nucleus and can easily change shape, helping them fit through the various blood vessels in your body. Unlike most other eukaryotic cells, mature red blood cells don't have nuclei. When they enter the bloodstream for the first time, they eject their nuclei and organelles, so they can carry more hemoglobin, and thus, more oxygen. Each red blood cell has a life span of around 100–120 days. Skin cells are specialized to be quickly shed and replaced, and do not have much mitochondria (which helps produce energy). Muscle cells, conversely, have lots of mitochondria because they need energy to produce movement. brainliest??

Plant cells, unlike animal cells, are characterized by the presence of a ________.
expeople1 [14]

B. Cell wall and a central vacuole

The cell wall is a rigid structure that surrounds the cells and allows plants to stay upright.  Animal cells are more fluid.

The central vacuole is a large region in the cell that stores nutrients and fluids.  Many cells, including animal cells, contain vacuoles, but most are small, and only plant cells contain large central vacuoles.

Hope this helps!!
