Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Lactose is hydrolyzed into glucose and galactose in the small intestine through the action of the enzyme lactase.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Although all options are routine laboratory tests for the patient with pancreatitis, lipase is the best indicator of pancreatic function, as it stays elevated longer than amylase.
