What is sucrase secreted from?
Sucrase is a family of enzymes. Some of it is secreted from the salivary glands in the mouth but most of the sucrase activity is in the small intestines. In the intestines it is not secreted, but rather, contained in the wall.
What is the main purpose of a sucrase?
Sucrase is an enzyme which catalyze the hydrolysis of sucrose to fructose and glucose.
Where does sucrase work in the body?
Stomach
A specific reactant an enzyme acts upon is called the a catalyst b sucrase c active site d substrate?
D. substrate (a specific reactant acted upon by an enzyme is called the enzyme's substrate.)
If lactase breaks down lactose and galactose then the enzyme sucrase breaks down?
The enzyme sucrase breaks down sucrose. Glucose and fructose are the products of this chemical reaction.
Where in the intestine sucrase is to be the most active?
The duodenum
What is sucrase secreted from?
Sucrase is a family of enzymes. Some of it is secreted from the salivary glands in the mouth but most of the sucrase activity is in the small intestines. In the intestines it is not secreted, but rather, contained in the wall.
What substrate would fit into the active site of sucrase?
The substrate would be sucrose. Normally a 5% sucrose solution.
What is the optimal pH of sucrase?
The optimum pH for sucrase is 2.0
What is the main purpose of a sucrase?
Sucrase is an enzyme which catalyze the hydrolysis of sucrose to fructose and glucose.
Why does sucrase not hydrolyse lactose?
"because the reaction is to slow to make an effect, if a enzyme is added then it can hydrolyse lactose but it can take more than 6 years without the addition of an enzyme" Is bull**** the real answer is because the active site of the two substances are different and so the sucrase becasue Lactose has a different shape/structure which does not fit/bind to active site of enzyme/sucrase.
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
Where does sucrase work in the body?
Stomach
Sucrase converts sucrose into?
glucose and fructose
What is the substrate for lyase?
the substrate for lyase is sucrase
What enzyme digests Sucrose.?
the enzyme sucrase
What is the comparative and superlative form of active?
The comparative adjective form is more active. The superlative adjective form is most active.
