Which of these processes is an example of hydrolysis? a. conversion of glucose units into starch. b. conversion of fructose and glucose units form sucrose. c. conversion of cellulose into glucose units.

Lactase is essential for digesting lactose in milk. this enzyme is specific for this sugar. why? molecules and active sites vary in size; only properly sized molecules can fit.there is a precise compatibility between the active site and the lactose molecule.specificity refers to the action of the enzyme, such as hydrolysis, and relatively few molecules can be hydrolyzed.reaction-specific enzymes assume a fit by folding around the most numerous substrate molecules.
