A) the lactose molecule is broken down into glucose and and galactose
B) Lactose shifts to its lowest free energy level to allow lactose to enter the active site
C) Lactose creates a microenvironment as it approches lactase to promote binding
D) Temporary bonding occurs between the active site and the substrate, causing a conformational change
