Do animals produce enzymes that hydrolyze cellulose?
No. Animals do not produce enzymes that hydrolyze cellulose. (From Master Bio - Chapter 41).
Why doesn't saliva digest protein?
Carbohydrates are digested (hydrolyzed) by the enzyme amylase, found in saliva. However, saliva does not contain any protein-hydrolyzing enzymes. Enzymes are specific, meaning they will only hydrolyze the substrates (reactants) they were made to hydrolyze, so amylase will not hydrolyze proteins.
How do enzymes affect food?
Enzymes help in digestion of food by catalyzing the biochemcal reactions between food molecules and chemicals that helps in digestion. Enzymes speed up the biochemical reactions and act as catalysts.
What are digestive enzymes that hydrolyze molecules of fat into fatty acid and glycerol molecules?
lipases
Are enzymes a protein or a lipid?
NO LIPID IS NOT A ENZYMEfat-It is a soluble (lipophilic), naturally-occurring molecule, such as fats, oils, waxes, cholesterol, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, phospholipids, and others. The main biological functions of lipids include energy storage, acting as structural components of cell membranes, and participating as important signaling molecules.
A certain enzyme with hydrolyze egg white but not starch which statement best explains this observation?
enzymes are specific in their actions
Are enzymes composed mostly of proteins?
Most enzymes are protein, but not all protein are enzymes.
What enzymes will hydrolyze proteins by removing amino acids from the end of the molecules and not by hydrolyzing bonds within the molecules?
carboxypeptidase
Why can your bodies hydrolyze glycogen and not cellulose?
Humans have enzymes called -amylase in saliva and pancreatic juices that hydrolyze the -1,4-glycosidic bonds of starches, but not the -1,4-glycosidic bonds of cellulose. Thus, humans cannot digest cellulose. Animals such as horses, cows, and goats can obtain glucose from cellulose because their digestive systems contain bacteria that provide enzymes such as cellulase to hydrolyze -1,4-glycosidic bonds
Are enzymes derived from a protein?
it is a protein
What bio molecule is enzymes?
All the enzymes are protein or protein conjugates(with lipids or carbohydrates)
Are proteins a enzymes?
Proteins are not enzymes. Enzymes are protein,tertiary proteins
