Hi, jkatano,

If your project is related to a particular one listed here on ScienceBuddies (https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p031.shtml), I'm assuming that you read that page already for your background research. As for your question, you'd probably know the answer better than I would since you've already finished the experiment! Please share details about that and be as specific as possible with what you did. Remember, each and every detail can greatly help an Expert to help you! With that said, let me leave you with some informational links that might be of some (post-research/experimental) assistance:

http://www.livestrong.com/article/23208 ... se-levels/
http://www.exploratorium.edu/snacks/mil ... index.html

They're not at all difficult to read, so they should be enjoyable and, perhaps, very helpful if you haven't already seen them before.

Hope this helped,
RM :)

I think your question would be more appropriate for the life sciences forum

https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... m.php?f=25

Anyway, you asked "Do the glucose concentration of regular milk and lactose-free milk change after the addition of the lactase?". But this is just what you measured in steps 5-16 of the project procedure. I would guess yes, but you are the one who has the data to answer this question.
