What is the function of proteolytic enzymes and what do they make?
Proteolytic enzymes break down proteans into their constituent chemicals (amino acids) they help in digestion.
Why are enzymes needed for chemical reaction in cells?
To carry out biochemical reactions enzymes are needed as catalyst.
What is used to help break down the nuclear membrane?

What do enzymes do for the body?
Enzymes are globular proteins that function as biological catalysts in the body. They help to activate and speed up anabolic and catabolic reactions. For example, enzymes help to break down/digest the food you eat.
Do enzymes help your digestion?

What is the pacrea job in digestive system?
It produces digestive enzymes then releases enzymes into the small intestine to help break down food
How do Enzymes Digest?
Enzymes help break down protiens and carbohydrates into smaller proportions preventing undigested food from making it into the colon.
Why are enzymes needed for chemical reaction in cells?
To carry out biochemical reactions enzymes are needed as catalyst.
What is the purpose of a enzyme in a biochemical reaction?
To break down compounds into smaller things. We have enzymes in our body that help break down food when it is being digested.
What are enzymes KS2?
enzymes are molecules that help break own your food
What is a gland that helps the small intestine by producing enzymes that help break down food?
The Large Intestine
How enzymes help us get energy out of food?
Enzymes break down the chemicals in foods. Particular the carbohydrates into smaller units that can be used by the cells in the body.
