What human functions are enzymes involved in?
In what human functions are enzymes involved
What is the acrosome reaction?
The acrosome reaction must be completed before the sperm can fuse with the secondary oocyte, during the process of fertilisation. It occurs when the sperm comes into contact with the corona radiata of the secondary oocyte. Initally, perforations will develop in the acrosome, and then there will be point fusions of the sperm plasma membrane and the outer acrosomal membrane. The acrosome reaction is associated with the release of enzymes which facilitate fertilisation. The passage of sperm through the corona radiata is dependent on hyaluronidase, an acrosomal membrane, as well as tubal mucosal enzymes. Flagella action of the sperm also helps penetration of the corona radiata. Other important acrosomal enzymes include esterases, and lysin which causes lysis of the zona pellucida.
What enzymes act inside the small intestine and what are the functions of these enzymes?
enzymes are protien catalysts that spreed up digestion
Why are enzymes beneficial to cells?
Enzymes are beneficial to cells due to the functions that they perform. Most chemical reactions are catalyzed by enzymes in the cell.
One consequence of the acrosomal reaction is?
the fast block to polyspermy

What usually functions as a catalyst for biochemical reactions?
Enzymes
What protects RNA from attack by cytoplasmic enzymes?
a cap and tail
Organ that produces enzymes?
in fact each and every cell of our body produces enzymes to be able to perform its functions.
One consequence of the acrosomal reaction is?
the fast block to polyspermy
List at least four functions of enzymes?
Enzymes serve a wide variety of functions inside living organisms, Enzymes are catalysts that speeds up the digestion of food. Enzymes are responsible for the synthesis of DNA. Enzymes break down starch into glucose, breaks down protein into amino acid, and breaks lipids down into fatty acids.
