The Effect Of Glucose Concentration On Lactaid

The results of this lab experiment proved that Lactaid was able to break down the sugar lactose. The table above shows that when two drops of milk and two drops of Lactaid were added together, glucose was detected. Glucose was detected in this test because Lactaid contains lactase, which broke the lactose in the milk into the side effect of galactose and glucose. The other test results showed that glucose was present when glucose was added to the circle by itself. Also, glucose was not existent in the four drops of water because water does not contain sugar molecules. The four drops of milk also gave a weak result for glucose, which is for sure correct. Milk contains the sugar lactose, but this will not show a positive test for glucose because,
