Whats the function of the lactase substrate?
Lactase is the bodily enzyme that breaks down Lactose, a sugar found in milk.
Which enzyme cannot generate glucose is it Lactase or Amylase or Maltase or Sucrase All of them?
its amylase
What substrate does salivary amylase act on?
Starch
What are the examples of enzyme catalysts?
Enzymes. (ex. lactase, catalase etc.)
What are examples of enzymes in living things?
amylase cellulase lactase lipase maltase protease sucrase they all have there particular function in the human body
Whats the function of the lactase substrate?
Lactase is the bodily enzyme that breaks down Lactose, a sugar found in milk.
Which enzyme cannot generate glucose is it Lactase or Amylase or Maltase or Sucrase All of them?
its amylase
Lactase amylase cellulase are what type of molecules?
Each of these is an enzyme which speeds up a reaction in breaking down a substrate. Lactase helps in breaking down lactose, amylase helps with amylose, and cellulase helps with cellulose. All of these substrates are sugars.
What is the substrate for pancreatic amylase?
The substrate for pancreatic amylase is starch. It is an enzyme, secreted in the pancreas, that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into sugars.
What enzymes serve as a catalyst in metabolism?
amylase lactase pepsin
What are the reactants of amylase?
The Substrate for amylase are starch (amylose and Amylopectin), glycogen, and various Oligosaccharides.
What substrate does salivary amylase act on?
Starch
What substance is a substrate of amylase?
carbohydrates (starches)
What enzyme(s) breaks down starch?
Salivary amylase in the mouth, and then maltase, sucrase and lactase in the small intestine.
Which enzyme can not generate Glucose is it Lactase Amylase Maltase Sucrase or all of them?
all of them
What enzyme would catalyze the breakdown of a disaccharide?
Modern enzymes are usually named by incorporating the name of the polymer hydrolyzed and the suffix "-ase". So following those rules, the enzyme that breaks down lactose is lactase.
Does amylase use cellulose as a substrate?
No, amylase does not use cellulose as a substrate. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into simple sugars like maltose and glucose. Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate that requires other enzymes, like cellulase, for its breakdown.
