Are catalyse Maltese and sucrose enzymes?
All enzymes end in -ase. Their substrate is the base for the enzyme. For example: the sugar maltose is acted on by the enzyme maltase. Sucrose, by sucrase.
What does maltase produce?
Two glucose, because maltose is two glucose join together
Where is sucrase secreted?
Sucrase is synthesized in the small intestine by the brush border, and secreted by the tips of the villi epithelium, particularly in the duodenum
What is substrate of maltase?
maltase is found in intestinal juice and hydrolyzes maltose to glucose. Substrate = maltose Product = glucose
What does it mean when it says enzymes are specific?
Enzymes are highly specific in their action. For example, enzyme maltase acts on sugar maltose and not on lactose or sucrose. Different enzymes may act on the same substrate but give rise to different products. For example, raffinose gives rise to melibiose and fructose in the presnce of enzyme sucrase while in the presence of enzyme melibiase it produces lactose and sucrose. Similarly an enzyme may act on different substrates like sucrase can act on both sucrose and raffinose producing different end products.
What enzymes are needed for banana?
Sucrase, Maltase, and Lactase
Which enzyme can not generate Glucose is it Lactase Amylase Maltase Sucrase or all of them?
all of them
Which enzyme cannot generate glucose is it Lactase or Amylase or Maltase or Sucrase All of them?
its amylase
What enzymes are needed to breakdown disaccharides?
The enzymes lactase, maltase, and isomaltase (or sucrase) are needed to break down the disaccharides.
What realeases enzymes to help us digest food?
Amylase, Lipase, Cellulase, Maltase, Lactase, Phytase, and Sucrase
What enzyme(s) breaks down starch?
Salivary amylase in the mouth, and then maltase, sucrase and lactase in the small intestine.
What are examples of enzymes in living things?
amylase cellulase lactase lipase maltase protease sucrase they all have there particular function in the human body
Name the two enzymes that take part in digestion of proteins in your body?
amylase, cellulase, lactase, maltase, protease and sucrase
What are the names of three enzymys found in pancreatic juices?
There are 5. Amylase, Trypsin and Chymotrypsin, Nucleases, Lipases, Maltase/Sucrase/Lactase, Aminopeptidase and Carboxypeptiases
Are catalyse Maltese and sucrose enzymes?
All enzymes end in -ase. Their substrate is the base for the enzyme. For example: the sugar maltose is acted on by the enzyme maltase. Sucrose, by sucrase.
What helps the digestion in the intestines?
whats helps digestion in intestines are enzymes-lipase,erepsin,maltase,sucrase and lactase and also its shape provide large surface area for this.
What are the reactants and products of carbohydrate breakdown?
During carbohydrate breakdown, the reactants are salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase, maltase, sucrase and lactase. The products are maltose, glucose, fructose and fiber.
