What enzyme converts starch to glucose in the mouth of humans?
salivary amylase
Where is amylase found in plants?
Amylase is a type of carbohydrase enzyme. In humans it is produced in the pancreas.
Where amylase is made?
Amylase is an enzyme that is made in the mouth of humans. It is specifically found in saliva and is used in digestion.
In humans chemical digestion is accomplished by enzyme action that begins in the mouth and end in the?
Digestion ends in the large intestine.
How would an increase in body temperature affect enzymes?
In general, increased temperature will increase the activity of an enzyme. However, this is a general trend. For one thing, eventually, if you increase temperature enough you will reach a point at which the protein which makes up the enzyme will begin to denature (unfold). When this happens, the enzyme can no longer be active. Almost all enzymes have an "optimal" temperature. For example, most human derived enzymes will function best at around 37C (body temperature) but this is not always true. Temperature can have other effects as well. Enzymes perform their work on what is called a substrate. The substrate may also be affected by temperature. For example, there is an enzyme commonly used in molecular biology called ligase. Ligase joins to pieces of DNA together. Obviously the natural temperature for ligase to operate in humans is 37C, but in the lab, when we use ligase we often perform the reaction at a much lower temperature (14-16C). The reason for this is that at higher temperatures, the double stranded DNA starts to melt (separate into single strands) which makes it more difficult for ligase to work. At lower temperatures, the DNA stays double stranded making it easier for ligase to work.
Can humans digest wood?
no. humans lack an enzyme to digest wood
What did Anubis expect of humans?
he did not expect anything of the living
Why can't humans digest wood?
Because they lack an enzyme
Which is accurately describes an enzyme?
An enzyme is essentially what keeps humans alive. They are molecules that support the metabolic processes inside of the body.
What is the optimum temperature of an enzyme?
Enzymes are sensitive to temperature enzyme has its optimum temperature for its maximum activity,above and below this temperature its rate of reaction decreases.Most of enzymes are highly active at about 37C and are completely destroyed at 100C,whereas at minimum i.e.0C, activity is reduced to minimum but enzymes are not destroyed.
What effect would temperatures greater than 55 degrees Celsius have on enzymes?
It would depend on the situation. Some organisms live at very high temperatures and this would not make any difference. In humans, it would cause the enzyme to denature. It would cook them.
What enzyme converts starch to glucose in the mouth of humans?
salivary amylase
What is Enzyme Definiciency?
Enzymes are vital to life in humans. A deficiency of an enzyme is when you lack the proper functioning of a particular enzyme. This can lead to difficulty breaking down certain nutrients, like proteins or
What enzyme breaks down corn?
Digestive enzymes are enzymes that break down food into usable energy. The digestive enzyme that breaks down corn is called xylanese. Humans lack this enzyme.
Why is plastic waste a nuisance?
Plastic bag is a non decomposable material. Humans & animals have an enzyme which helps in digestion. When plastic bag is swallowed, this enzyme does not help in digestion. For animals it can cause death & for humans cause any disease.
What is nadph primarily used for?
N.A.D.P.H is primarily used for photosynthesis. It is an enzyme that helps break down carbohydrates for plants. It is also an enzyme that generates metabolism in humans.
If humans temperature is 98.6 why is so hot for humans outside at 100 degrees?
Our internal temperature is 98.6 degrees F, but our external temperature is far cooler.
