Describe the breakdown of sucrose in the body and the revelant pathways of the byproducts. In the breakdown, be sure to use the following terms: active site, disaccharide, enzyme-substrate complex, fructose, glucose, glycosidic bond, hydrolysis, product, substrate, sucrase (the enzyme that splits sucrose), and sucrose. Also explain what happens to glucose and fructose in the liver.
Lactose is found in milk products. It is converted by the body into a usable form in a series of chemical
reactions. The diagram shows the series of reactions that convert lactose into a usable form.
