Is enzymes monomers or polymers?
Enzymes are a type of protein, which are amino acid polymers.
What classes of biological macromolecules to which enzymes and starches belong?
protiens.
What are the monomers that make enzymes up?
Enzymes are proteins.Proteins are made up of amino acids
What turns monomers into polymers?
Monomers are broken up through hydrolysis reactions. This is when the monomers break and are "capped" with a hydrogen or a hydroxyl (if not, then such molecules can do damage to the body). This process is aided by enzymes (proteins) which catalyze the reactions.
What breaks down starches in food?
Little molecules called 'enzymes'. or sugar
Are enzymes monomers used to build protein?
No, enzymes are organic catalysts (they speed up chemical reactions). Enzymes are generally proteins (some are RNAs), typically decorated with sugars.
What are the monomers of enzymes?
amino acids
Is enzymes monomers or polymers?

Which pancreatic enzymes acts on glycogen and starches?
Amylase
What classes of biological macromolecules to which enzymes and starches belong?
protiens.
What are the monomers that make enzymes up?
Enzymes are proteins.Proteins are made up of amino acids
What do enzymes have to do with the digestive system?
Enzymes such as salivary amylase help break down starches and carbohydrates during digestion.
How do you make change glucose into starch?
Enzymes polymerize glucose into starches.
What is needed to produce energy from carbohydrates?
To utilize energy from a nutrient, the bonds need to be broken. Polysaccharides cannot be digested until it has been broken down into monomers (monosaccharides). To do this, enzymes need to break the glycosidic linkages between monomers.
How the interaction between enzymes and its substrates changes a chemical reaction?
An enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction.
What do pancreatic enzymes digest?
The pancreatic enzymes amylase, trypsin and lipase digest proteins, fatty acids, carbohydrates and starches.
What are the Two important reasons for saliva turns sugars into starches?
Enzymes in saliva break starches into simpler sugars, not the other way around.
