Why do we use enzymes in industry?
to break down products
Where does digestive enzymes work?
Digestive enzymes work in the mouth, stomach and small intestine. Enzymes break down food so that it can be absorbed by the body.
What enzymes are needed to breakdown disaccharides?
The enzymes lactase, maltase, and isomaltase (or sucrase) are needed to break down the disaccharides.
What class of organic molecules is damaged by high temperature?
Enzymes are proteins. They are very important because they catalyse metabolic processes in the body that would not be able to occur without them. Their function is dependant upon their shape. If an enzyme is not the correct shape for the molecules it need to bind to then it will not be able to catalyse the process it is involved in. The shapes (quaternery structure) of enzymes are the result of attractive forces between funtional groups within the protein. These attrative forces are quite weak, and high temperatures within the body will break them and the enzymes will lose their shape (they are de-natured). Once the structure is lost it cannot be reformed again, so the process regulated by any enzyme that has denatured no longer function properly.
What are the special proteins that can break large molecules into small molecules?
These substances are called enzymes.
What structure inside the cell holds the digestive enzymes that break down the carbohydrates?
Lysosomes hold the digestive enzymes that break down the carbohydrates.
What structure inside the cell holds the digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates?
Lysosomes hold the digestive enzymes that break down the carbohydrates.
Which structure inside the cell holds the digestive enzymes that break down the carbonhydrates?
lysosomes
What cell structure can break down a large molecule into a smaller one and contains enzymes?
I'm fairly certain it's the lysosome...
What is the difference between amylose and amylopectin?
Amylopectin is easer for enzymes to get around and break it down. Amylose is a long unbranced chain of glucose, it has a cylinder like structure wich makes it compact so its good for storage. Amylopectin is a long branched chain of glucose, its structure is a benifit because enzymes that break glycosidic bonds to break down the moleclue get to it faster. This means glucose is released faster.
What is the structure of enzymes in living cells?
It acts as Catalyst, generally enzymes not have specific structure in the living cell.
What enzymes break down gelatin?
Protease enzymes
What uses both acids and enzymes to break down proteins and destroy bacteria?
Villi, tiny finger shaped structure in the small intestine.
Lysosomes use their enzymes to break proteins into?
Lysosomes use their enzymes to break proteins into "CELLS".
What does mitochondria use to break down carbohydrates?
Enzymes are used to break them down. There are many enzymes
Substance used to break food down?
Enzymes are substances that break down food.
How pH levels affect enzymes?
It disrupts an enzymes shape and structure.
