Which of these digestive enzymes are active under strongly acidic conditions?
We need more information as to which enzymes you are asking about.
Normally reactions that depend on enzymes are strongly temperature-dependent. Are the carbon-assimilating steps dependent on enzymes?
Yes, carbon-assimilating steps in photosynthesis, such as the Calvin cycle, are indeed dependent on enzymes. These enzymes facilitate the conversion of carbon dioxide into organic molecules, such as glucose, in a series of biochemical reactions. Changes in temperature can affect the activity of these enzymes and consequently impact the overall rate of photosynthesis.
Which of the following enzymes is found in glycolysis?
Aldolase
Which of the following digestive processes requires enzymes?
Hydrolysis
Which of the following enzymes catalyzes an unfavorable step in glycolysis?
Hexokinase
What do the following digestive juices or enzymes do to the food in the small intestines?
nothing
Which of the following enzymes catalyzes the rate-limiting step of glycolysis?
Phosphofructokinase
How does the body avoid damaging the digestive enzymes in the small intestine with this strongly acidic pH as the food passes out of the stomach?
The body protects the digestive enzymes in the small intestine from the stomach's strongly acidic pH by secreting bicarbonate ions from the pancreas. This bicarbonate neutralizes the stomach acid as chyme enters the small intestine, creating a more alkaline environment suitable for the function of digestive enzymes. Additionally, the lining of the small intestine produces mucus that helps shield the epithelial cells from acidity and enzymes, further protecting them from damage.
Which of the following trace minerals is recycled back into the pancreas to be incorporated into the enzymes in pancreatic juice?
zinc
Which of the following enzymes is not required to breakdown glycogen into glucose-6-phosphate molecules for further metabolism?
All of these enzymes are necessary in the breakdown of glycogen into glucose-6-phosphate molecules.
Which of the following would not be usable by the mitochondria in absence of glycolytic enzymes?
Lactate would not be usable by the mitochondria in the absence of glycolytic enzymes. Glycolytic enzymes are necessary to convert glucose into pyruvate, which can then enter the mitochondria for further energy production. Without these enzymes, lactate would accumulate and cannot be metabolized by the mitochondria.
Which digestive enzymes are active under strongly acidic conditions?
Pepsin is the primary digestive enzyme that is active under strongly acidic conditions, specifically in the stomach where the pH can be as low as 1.5 to 3.5. It is responsible for breaking down proteins into smaller peptides. Additionally, gastric lipase also functions in the acidic environment of the stomach, aiding in the digestion of fats. These enzymes are adapted to operate effectively in the low pH of gastric juice.
