What enzyme is responsible for fat digestion?
the lipase enzyme :)
Restriction enzyme digestion?
Yes?
What enzyme do in digestion?
speed up chemical reation....breaking down food
Is pepsin an enzyme assist in carbohydrate digestion?
No
What enzyme completes the digestion of proteins?
Trypsin completes the digestion of proteins. Pepsin in the stomach starts the digestion of proteins.
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is?
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is pepsin. Pepsin is released by the mucosal lining of the stomach.
What is enzyme that begins milk digestion?
the answer is pepsin.
What is the key enzyme in digestion of polysaccharides?
alpha-amylase
Which enzymes are at work during digestion?
During digestion the enzyme in saliva works on cooked food
What is the Effect of mineral and vitamin deficiency on enzyme activity?
many vitamins and minerals play crucial roles in many metabolisms as coenzyme or cofactor. Deficiency of those lower the related-enzyme activity.
Where does carbohydrate digestion begin and how does this digestion occur?
Carbohydrate digestion starts with the mastication (chewing of the mouth). There, the salivary amylase begins to break down the carbs into monosaccharides. Protein digestion begins in the stomach. Pepsin comes into play here and various enzyme proteases do as well
What enzyme does the majority of digesting lipids?
Most lipids that you consume in your diet are fats some digestion occurs that allows lipase a fat -digesting pancreatic enzyme to aid in digestion.
