Are some types of proteins called enzymes?
Some proteins act as enzymes, yes. Enzymes are just proteins that catalyze (speed up/slow down) reactions.
What enzyme is responsible for proteins digestion?
Hydrolytic enzymes that break down proteins are a class of enzymes called proteases.
Chemical digestion is accomplished by these proteins?
when enzymes in our bodies break down food
What enzymes that break down proteins?
proteases - apex
Nutrient in which protease enzymes act on?
Proteases breaks-down proteins into peptides & amino acids
Are proteins a enzymes?
Proteins are not enzymes. Enzymes are protein,tertiary proteins
What is a 3 letter suffix which indicates that an organic compound is an enzyme?
That is -ase. Enzymes are one type of proteins; enzymes have groups too. Proteases are enzymes that break down proteins.
Which cells produce pepsin which break down proteins?
enzymes
Do enzymes break down proteins?
So that the body can use them.
What enzymes are required for digestion?
Many sorts of enzymes at different parts of the system. In the mouth enzymes to break down sugars, in the stomach enzymes to break down proteins and in the small intestine enzymes to break down fats and sugars.
Do enymes brake down lipids carbohydrates and prptiens?
Yes specific enzymes are breaking down carbohydrates, proteins and lipids to form sugars, amino acids and fatty acids respectively by hydrolysis. All enzymes are specific for a particular substrate. Not a single enzyme can do all these processes!
Why enzymes are made up of proteins?
Enzymes are proteins but not all proteins are enzymes.
