Want this question answered?
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.
because it helps it
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.
No. Enzymes are specific to their substrates.
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.
It has no effect
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.
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.

in the small intestines
not a thing
The optimal PH for most enzymes is near neutrality, in the range of 6-8. Outside this range normal chemical functioning of cells may be impaired. This was from my text book but since water is not a reactant and is normal for pretty much every one of the enzymes functions, i would assume that it has no effect by itself, but can have an effect paired up reactants, and energy sources.
