How do you know when something is an enzyme?
enzymes can build structures inside the body, can help provide the body with energy or can break down structures or molecules in various places in our body, they also work as a digestive enzymes hope that helps
What is the function of amylase in a detergent?
An amylase is an enzyme which helps in the digestion of starch. Enzymes are usually added to biological powders to help in the removal of stains. Starch, being made of very large molecules doesn't dissolve in water. The enzyme helps break it down to sugars, which do dissolve away.
Enzymatic effects of liver on hydrogen peroxide?
Enzymes are found in the liver and as you know enzymes are hightly specific biological catalysts. One of the enzymes that is found in liver is the enzyme called a peroxidase enzyme, whose job it is to break down any hydrogen peroxide that exists in the body. It is important to note the dependance on concentration of the enzyme, the PH of the system(as enzymes only like to work ay body ph). The peroxidase enzymes generally break up molecules in the form ROOR into ROH and R'OH where the chain length of R varies.
Why do large groups of sugar molecules break apart in water?
when sugar dissolves in water the sugar molecules are more attracted-to the water than each other.the molecules-break apart from each other and water molecules surround them.
What are the special proteins that can break large molecules into small molecules?
These substances are called enzymes.
What chemical can break up large molecules?
Enzyme
What is role of enzyme inside a lysosomes?
They break down large molecules
Which enzyme will break down starch into smaller monosaccharide molecules?
Alpha amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch into it's individual glucose monosaccharide molecules.
Chains of enzyme reactions that break down or build molecules are called pathways?
atp
Why enzyme like pepsin only break down proteins and not other molecules?
The enzymes like pepsin break down the proteins and not the other molecules because they are themselves protein.
How does enzyme work?
They break down molecules into smaller parts.
What do carbohydrases break down?
Carbohydrases is the general term given to any enzyme which acts on carbohydrate molecules.
How does the enzyme catalyze the reaction?
An enzyme catalyzes the reaction by changing the shapes of the molecules that stress the bonds holding together. Therefore the bond is weaker and will break down faster.
What effect do hydrolysis enzyme's have on the rate at which large organic molecules break down?
The Enzymes speed up the process in which orgaic molecules breakown. They help the molecules break down. Therefore speeding up the process. Thats the Low-down. Hope it helped :)
What process is used when an enzyme helps to break down organic molecules?
this process is called catalysis
What do you think the molecules are with the -ase endings on them?
-ase is a common suffix used to name various enzymes. So, as an example, a nuclease is an enzyme that cleaves nucleic acids and a telomerase is an enzyme that extends the telomeres. Both produce different outcomes yet both end with -ase.
What is a substrate .?
A substrate molecule hydrogen bonds to the active site on an enzyme and causes it to distort. The distortion stresses a bond in the substrate, causing it to break into two product molecules. These are released by the enzyme and drift away.
