Answer:

A person will be lactose intolerant if they do not have the lactase enzyme.

Explanation:

Lactose is milk sugar, in technical terms, it is a carbohydrate formed by galactose and glucose. It is estimated that 75% of the world's population suffers from lactose intolerance, a digestive disorder in which carriers have partial or complete difficulty digesting sugar in milk and milk derivatives.

Lactase is the enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose in the blood, making sugar digestion easier. When there is a lack or insufficient amount of lactase in the body, sugar reaches the large intestine unchanged and accumulates.

Bacteria that produce lactic acid and gases ferment the accumulated lactose, leading to greater water retention, causing diarrhea, bloating and abdominal pain. This is the face of lactose intolerance.

What are some possible future changes in the global climate?
Ugo [173]

The most probable future changes in the global climate are:

- Global warming;

If the levels of CO2 and methane increase enough in the atmosphere to be able to intensify the Greenhouse effect, than some portion of the ice on the planet will melt because of the rising temperatures, thus lifting up the sea level, creating more unpredictable weather with larger and stronger storms, but also making the mainland much drier. This would be a scenario if the continents are arranged like they are now, but if there isn't a sufficient mass of land on and around the poles, than all of the ice will melt and the sea levels will rise so much that the planet will come in the ''water planet'' scenario, and it will have wet tropical climate pretty much everywhere on the planet.

- Ice Age;

If there's a disruption in the warm ocean streams and some of them disappear, or the levels of nitrogen or oxygen increase in the atmosphere, the Earth will start to cool off, thus coming to a situation of an Ice Age. In this kind of situation, there will be large ice sheets on and around the poles that are stretching much further towards the lower latitudes, as well as mountains all over the world that are covered in snow and shaped by glaciers.
