    Match the following clinical manifestations of lactose intolerance with their descriptions:

    <p>Bloating and flatulence = Undigested lactose in the colon becomes a substrate for fermentation by gut bacteria Diarrhoea = Unabsorbed lactose can draw water into the colon, leading to loose or watery stools Abdominal discomfort = The combination of fermentation, gas production, and the osmotic effect can cause abdominal discomfort and pain Nausea = Some individuals may experience nausea as a result of the digestive discomfort caused by lactose intolerance</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Match the following consequences of lactase deficiency with their effects:

    <p>Fluid osmotically driven into the intestine = Increases the volume and fluidity of the gastrointestinal contents Accumulation of gas in the colon = Leads to bloating and flatulence Unabsorbed lactose drawing water into the colon = Causing loose or watery stools Distension of the intestine due to gas and increased fluid content = Contributes to abdominal discomfort and pain</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Match the following gases produced during fermentation with their descriptions:

    <p>Carbon dioxide = Produced during fermentation of undigested lactose in the colon Methane = Produced during fermentation of undigested lactose in the colon Hydrogen = Produced during fermentation of undigested lactose in the colon Oxygen = Not produced during fermentation of undigested lactose in the colon</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Match the following severe symptoms of lactose intolerance with their descriptions:

    <p>Nausea = Some individuals may experience nausea as a result of the digestive discomfort caused by lactose intolerance Vomiting = In severe cases, the digestive distress may lead to vomiting Severe bloating = Feeling of extreme fullness and discomfort in the abdominal area Persistent diarrhoea = Unabsorbed lactose can draw water into the colon, leading to persistent loose or watery stools</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Match the following effects of unhydrolyzed lactose in the colon with their descriptions:

    <p>Osmotically driven fluid into the intestine = Increases the volume and fluidity of the gastrointestinal contents Fermentation by gut bacteria = Produces gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen Unabsorbed lactose drawing water into the colon = Causing loose or watery stools Distension of the intestine due to gas and increased fluid content = Contributes to abdominal discomfort and pain</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Study Notes

    Chemistry in Various Industries

    • Chemistry contributes to food production by improving crop yields, creating fertilizers, and developing pesticides.
    • Chemistry impacts clothing production by providing synthetic fibers, dyes, and finishes that enhance fabric quality and durability.

    Chemistry in Medicine

    • Chemistry research in medicine leads to the development of new medicines, vaccines, and diagnostic tools.

    Chemistry in Transportation

    • Chemistry plays a role in transportation by providing fuels, lubricants, and materials for vehicle construction.

    Adverse Effects of Chemical Processes

    • A potential adverse effect of chemical processes from industries is environmental pollution and harm to human health.

    Lactose Intolerance and Fermentation

    • Symptoms of lactose intolerance include bloating, gas, diarrhea, and stomach cramps due to the body's inability to digest lactose.
    • Lactase deficiency leads to unhydrolyzed lactose in the colon, causing fermentation and resulting in gas, bloating, and diarrhea.
    • Gases produced during fermentation include hydrogen, methane, and carbon dioxide.
    • Severe symptoms of lactose intolerance include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
    • Unhydrolyzed lactose in the colon leads to an increased osmotic load, causing water to be drawn into the intestine, and resulting in diarrhea.
