Q3.
Fresh milk is a mixture of compounds including fat, protein and about 5 % lactose sugar.
Lactose must be digested by the enzyme lactase, before the products can be absorbed.
Lactase can be added to fresh milk to pre-digest the lactose. This makes ‘lactose-free’
milk, which is suitable for people who do not produce enough lactase of their own.

lactase works best / well in alkali / high pH / neutral / non-acidic conditions
allow any pH of 7 and above
accept works slowly in acid conditions
allow figures from table with a comparison
ignore reference to temperature

• high temps / above 45(°C) (rate slows due to) denaturation of enzyme /lactase
allow synonyms of denaturation but not killed
denaturation at high and low temperature does not gain this
mark
ignore body temperature
ignore references to time / pH
