What else can I help you with?
What is the mechanical and chemical breaking up of fat into smaller particles that can more readily be acted upon by digestive enzymes?
Emulsification by bile breaks up the fat into smaller particles. This process increases the surface area that can be acted upon by digestive enzymes like lipase.
In the mouth the food is acted upon in what two ways?
In the mouth, food is acted upon physically through chewing by the teeth to break it down into smaller pieces, and chemically by salivary enzymes like amylase that begin the process of digesting carbohydrates.
What are the molecules that enzymes act on called?
The molecule upon which an enzyme acts is called the substrate.
What is bigger - an enzyme or the substrate that it acts upon?
Enzymes are typically larger than the substrates they act upon. Enzymes are proteins with complex three-dimensional structures, while substrates are generally smaller molecules that interact with specific regions on the enzyme known as the active site.
What is the substance an enzyme act upon called?
the substance that an enzyme acts upon is subtrate
What do enzymes and substrates look like?
Enzymes and substrates are molecules and look like any other molecules. In case of enzymes specifically, they are proteins and so have long chains of amino acids folded into different structures and shapes.
Would you expect a fat and a sugar molecule to be acted upon by the same enzyme?
No, typically fat molecules are broken down by lipase enzymes, while sugar molecules are broken down by amylase or sucrase enzymes. Each enzyme is specialized to break down specific types of molecules based on their chemical structure.

Emulsification by bile breaks up the fat into smaller particles. This process increases the surface area that can be acted upon by digestive enzymes like lipase.
What is the substance on which the enzymes works?
A substrate

In the mouth, food is acted upon physically through chewing by the teeth to break it down into smaller pieces, and chemically by salivary enzymes like amylase that begin the process of digesting carbohydrates.
The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its?
A substrate is the substance acted upon by an enzyme. The enzyme substrate complex is when an enzyme molecule combines with its substrates.
What is an enzyme called when it is acted upon a substance?
This is known as an enzymatic reaction.
Which plant material is not acted upon by any enzymes in the human alimentary canal?
Cellulose, found in plant walls, otherwise known as fibre
Are the substrates in an enzymatic reaction reactants or products?
Substrates in an enzymatic reaction are the reactants. They are the molecules that are acted upon by the enzyme to produce the products of the reaction.
What is the scientific name of enzymes?
Enzymes belong to a class of proteins called "biocatalysts" and do not have a single scientific name. They are named based on the substrate they act upon and end with the suffix "-ase." For example, the enzyme that breaks down proteins is called protease.
Something that is acted upon is a?
impulse
What does an objective pronouon does?
it is acted upon
