What is the name of the enzyme responsible for gelatin hydrolysis?
The enzyme responsible for gelatin hydrolysis is gelatinase.
Nutrient gelatin is used to test for the production of what enzyme?
gelatinase
Why is gelatin liquefied in the presence of gelatinase?
Gelatinase is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down the protein gelatin. Since the active ingredient of gelatin is the protein gelatin, the gel cannot solidify in the presence of gelatinase.
Does adding water to gelatin affect the flexibility of the gelatin?
Yes.
Why does pineapple not work in gelatin?
The proteins in the pineapple called bromelain will break down the strands of protein in gelatin that forms jello. Hence, the effect of a fresh piece of pineapple on gelatin is able to keep the gelatin liquidfied.
Does time affect the strength of gelatin?
No, it doesn't.
How a change in medium water to gelatin would affect the rate of diffusion?
A change in medium water to Gelatin would affect the rate of diffusion dramatically. The change from water to gelatin would slow down the rate of diffusion.
What are 3 factors that affect the speed of an enzyme catalyzed reaction?
3 factors that affect the speed of an enzyme catalysed reaction are: .Temperature .Enzyme Concentartion .Substrate concentration
How does increasing enzyme concentration affect the rate of enzyme action when the enzyme concentration remains constant?
It doesn't
Why doesn't boiled pepsin break down gelatin?
Gelatin is almost entirely protein. As pepsin is a protease, its job is to facilitate the break down of protein into amino acids. When the enzyme is boiled, it becomes denatured, which prevents it binding to the substrate. As a result of this, the digestion of gelatin cannot take place, so the digestion of gelatin ceases.
What can affect a biological function?
enzyme
What affect does too much substrate have on the rate of an enzyme reaction?
The enzyme becomes saturated by the substrate and enzyme activity plateaus.
