Enzymes are catalysts. They speed up the digestion of large molecules such as proteins. Digestion is the reaction of these large molecules with water, and it results in their conversion to small, soluble molecules which can be absorbed through the intestine walls. Proteins are converted to amino acids, starch to glucose, and fats to fatty acids and glycerol. Each type of food molecule needs a different enzyme.

What effect do enzymes in the intestine have on protein?
Once you digest food the enzymes in the intestine will digest the nutrients into small components. So that they could be absorbed by the intestine into the bloodstream, and throughout the body in order to be reused by the body cells.
What effect do enzymes in the intestine have on nutrients?
because it helps it

What is the effect of the pancrease?
The pancreas, secretes a number of enzymes including pancreatic juice which goes into the small intestine. These enzymes help breakdown the nutriental compounds in chyme from the gall bladder's bile which originally helped break down the consumed product in the stomach. Overall, the pancreas helps break down nutrients in the small intestine and separates the good from the bad and the bad....well, is the waste. The nutrients go to your body.
What effect do enzymes in the intestines have on nutrients such as protein?
Enzymes, in general, are the molecules that enable and accelerate metabolic reactions. In the intestines, this means quickly breaking down nutrients and making them easier to absorb.
Would diastase have the same effect on protein as it would on starch?
No. Enzymes are specific to their substrates.
What is the condition that interferes with the ability of the small intestine to take up nutrients?
Long term side effect of small pox vaccine. Renders villi in small intestine unable to breakdown and digest fats and absorb nutrients.
Which procedure would have the least effect on the rate of protein digestion?
Consuming protein with carbohydrates or fats slows down the rate of protein digestion because they require different enzymes to break down in the stomach. Eating protein-rich foods alone, without carbohydrates or fats, would have the least effect on the rate of protein digestion.
What are the parts of an enzymes?
Active sites. Those atoms of the molecule that effect the London bonds to the target molecule.Structure Those atmos that provide the 'scaffolding' that ensure that the active sites are exactly where they should be.
What effect does enzymes have on the cholesterol?
It has no effect
How does vitamin D have effect calcium?
The protein channels responsible for the uptake of calcium ions from the lumen of the intestine into the bloodstream is calmodulin. VitaminD is required for action of calmodulin.
Enzymes and their co enzymes?
enzymes are made up of protein. amino acids are a type of protein, but if ever askeda question on what they are made up of, the simple answer of :protein, will beappropriate. enzymes are what speed up the chemical reactions in our body, if wedid not have enzymes the chemical reactions would take a lot longer to take placeand could effect our body functions as the chemical reactions are not happening asthey are suppose to.
