What else can I help you with?
What happens after the enzyme amylase breaks down a starch molecule?
After the enzyme amylase breaks down a starch molecule, it breaks it into smaller sugar molecules called maltose.
What individual molecule do you get when an enzyme breaks down a fat molecule?
A fat is an ester of three 'fatty acids' and glycerol.
Enzyme that breaks down Protein?
The general name for these enzymes is proteases
Why is hair not an enzyme?
Hair like enzymes are made of protein. However for a protein to be an enzyme it must have a very specific tertiary structure (shape) and have an active site that has a complementary shape to part of its substrate molecule. ie the enzyme must fit with the thing that it breaks down The tertiary sructure of hair is not highly folded and does not have a complementary shape to a substrate molecule therefore it is not an enzyme
Will an enzyme that breaks down starch work on an enzyme that breaks down protein?
Saliva contains amylase, which breaks down complex sugars such as starch. However starch can't ever be broken down into proteins. They are fundamentally different, starch is a polysaccharide while protein is a polypeptide.
Is cellulase a carbohydrate or a protein?
Cellulase is an enzyme that break down celluse a complex organic molecule into simpler molecule like glucose and as such being an enzyme, it is also protein in nature.
What does proteins breakdown into?
protein breaks down into pectiducts from the trypsin enzyme, then it is further broken down by pectin enzyme into amino acids
Is lactase a protein?
Yes; Lactase is an enzyme (protein) that breaks down the sugar lactose found in milk.
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of protein in food?
The enzyme which breaks down proteins (polypeptides) is called protease.
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of protein in foods?
The enzyme which breaks down proteins (polypeptides) is called protease.
What is accurate way for describing the activity of the lactase enzyme?
it breaks down the lactose protein.
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of protein foods?
The enzyme which breaks down proteins (polypeptides) is called protease.
