Starch and cellulose require different digestive enzymes for the same reason that different locks require different keys. The specific shape, and distribution of electrical charge in any given molecule determines the specific enzyme that will be needed to digest it. Every chemical is different.

What is the function of cell lyosomes?
Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes (acid hydrolases). They digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. The membrane surrounding a lysosome allows the digestive enzymes to work at the 4.5 pH they require. Lysosomes fuse with vacuoles and dispense their enzymes into the vacuoles, digesting their contents.
What is the optimum pH range for enzymes?
enzymes found in human bodies require different pH . like pepsin requires 1 or 2 to work, while trypsin requires 8. but overall the pH ranges from 6-8 for optimum efficiency
Metabolic reactions require organic catalysts called?
Metabolic reactions require organic catalysts called enzymes. These enzymes lower the activation energy of the reaction, thus increasing its reaction rate.
Suggest why the Ph of the gut secretions varies at different regions in the gut?
the answer to your question is simple and easily comprehensible.Since there are lots of different enzymes being secreted in the stomach(enzymes are made of protein and can be denatured by alternation of pH), each of these enzymes require to have their specific optimal pH.Grade 12West Vancouver Secondary 2010
What nutrient are essential for body growth or repair?
Proteins. And proteins require different vitamins, enzymes, minerals and amino acids to function properly.
Nutrient that is essential for body growth and repair?
Proteins. And proteins require different vitamins, enzymes, minerals and amino acids to function properly.
How effective is cellulose insulation?
Cellulose is considered to be as effective as fibreglass insulation. It has a number of advantages - it is environmentally friendly as it does not require chemical synthesis and is relatively cheap.
Often enzymes require a in order for them to function as a catalyst?
yes
What are specific processes that occur in cells that require enzymes?
digestion
What nutrient needed for the growth and repair of cells is?
Proteins. And proteins require different vitamins, enzymes, minerals and amino acids to function properly.
What does an enzymes need to bind to in order to be able to catalyze a specific reaction?
Often enzymes require a cofactor in order for them to function as a catalyst
Enzymes are examples of which of these molecule groups?
Enzymes can be classified as either simple enzymes or complex enzymes. 1) Simple enzymes are predominantly made up of proteins. 2) Complex enzymes are enzymes that require cofactors like iron or zinc ions to function properly.
