What best describes a likely result for the digestive system if digestive acids and enzymes are weakened?
really
What determines the effectiveness of enzymes?
The temperature in which the enzymes are effects the effectiveness of enzymes. Enzymes work best at a temperature of 37 which is the body temperature.
Membrane-enclosed vesicles that contain digestive enzymes best describe the?
Lysosomes
In which organ is biological activity of an enzyme present?
Enzymes are present throughout the entire body. Without these enzymes, simple chemical reactions would take too long to complete. Enzymes are best seen in the digestive system and in the stomach and small intestine. There, enzymes go to work breaking up nutrients such as proteins, carbs, and lipids.
Why does the body stay at 37 degrees?
Enzymes work best at this temperature.
Is temperature a factor that affects enzyme activity?
yes. at low temperature enzymes won't work as effectively, and at high temperature enzymes are denatured.
What is the best food for th digestive system?
A squash is the best food for that
At what temperature do plant enzymes work best?
Enzymes work best at temperatures around body temperature. If the temperature is too low, there is too little kinetic energy available for it, but if it is too high, the enzyme will be denatured, and will therefore also work slower. Enzymes work best at temperatures around body temperature. If the temperature is too low, there is too little kinetic energy available for it, but if it is too high, the enzyme will be denatured, and will therefore also work slower.
What affect does temperature have on cellular enzyme activity?
Enzymes generally work within a given temperature range. As the temperature is increased the activity will increase. However if the optimum temperature is surpassed, the enzymes will stop working.
At what temperature do human enzymes work best at?
Enzymes in the human body work best at human body temperature, so about 35-40 degrees (Celsius). A lower temperature would have too low of an effect to be able to sustain life, and a higher temperature causes the enzyme to denature (unravel) and be rendered ineffective.
Pepsin functions best in what part of the digestive system?
mouth
What factors affect the activity of enzymes?
Enzymes work best in the pH and temperature that they are " designed " for. A pepsin enzyme works best in the low pH environment of the stomach, while amylase works best at mouth temperature and ~ 7 pH. Heat and out of range pH can denature enzymes and not only affect their activity but inactivate them.
