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.
Is it true that enzymes are a protein that acts as a biological catalyst?
Yes; enzymes can be simple or complex molecules that serve to catalyze biological reactions.
Why is amylase important?
because it contain certain enzymes which helps in the breaking down of complex sugars into simple sugars
Complex organic molecules that work with enzymes to facilitate the enzymes?
co-enzymes
What does starch end up as?
Starch is a polysaccharide ie. a very complex carbohydrate. Enzymes break it down into a di-saccharide - maltose. Another enzymes then converts this into the monosaccharide (simple sugar), glucose.
What are the digestive enzyme?
Complex molecules are broken down into simple molecules by the action of specialised proteins called enzymes. The three digestive enzymes are:amylases, which act on the carbohydratesproteases, which act on the proteinslipases, which act on the lipids
What is amylase associated with?
Amylase is an enzyme. Almost all enzymes end with -ase. This enzyme works on complex carbohydrates to simple carbohydrates like sugars.
How do fungi change complex food into simpler forms they can absorb?
They give off enzymes that break down complex foods. (novanet)
Why enzymes are proteins?
Only proteins have the versatility to do the many complex tasks of enzymes.
Why does bread taste sweet after sitting 5 minutes in your mouth?
Because your saliva contains enzymes that begin to break down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars.
What is a simple complex carbohydrate?
There is no such thing as a simple complex carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are either simple or complex; they cannot be both.
Name the enzyme that breaks down carbohydrate?
Complex carbohydrates are broken down by the enzymes, salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase, and maltose. Simple carbohydrates on the other hand require little or none of these enzymes to break down.
