What essential nutrient does protease break down?
A protease is an enzyme that breaks down protein.
Does amylase break down tissue meat?
No, you need protease to break down meat.
Which substrate is digested by the enzyme protease?
Proteases break down proteins by hydrolysis (addition of a water molecule to break a bond) into amino acids. The substrate the protease enzyme works on is protein. Enzymes are often named for the substrates they catalyse (or break down).
Are protease enzymes used in baby food?
* Trypsin (a serine protease) is used in baby food to pre-digest it. It can break down the protein molecules which helps the baby to digest it as its stomach is not strong enough to digest bigger protein molecules. See the Related Link.
How many different types of food can an enzyme break down?
Enzymes are specific to just one particular substrate eg. lipase can only break down fats, protease can only break down protein, and amylase is specific only to starch molecules. This is because each enzyme has a different shaped active site which matches the molecular shape of just one substance.
What essential nutrient does protease break down?
A protease is an enzyme that breaks down protein.
What enzymes break down gelatin?
Protease enzymes
What do protease break down into?
Protease is an enzyme so it would break down into amino acids. (If you meant protein then the same is true)
What enzymes break down protein into amino acids?
Protease in general. Pepsin in the stomach and trypsin in the small intestine in mammals break down protein into polypeptide chains and erepsin in the small intestine break down polypeptide chains into amino acids.
Why is protease made?
To break down proteins into their amino acids
Why cant marine animals break down water molecules into oxygen?
Marine animals do not break down water molecules into oxygen, just like we don't. They breathe O2 gas that is in solution in the water.
What breaks food down after it reaches the stomach?
Enzymes break down large food molecules into more useful nutrients. In the stomach, this is carried out by the enzyme pepsin. This is a protease, so it will digest proteins into amino acids.
What are the functions of protease?
Protease is an enzyme that works to break down proteins into their basic amino acids. Specifically, it is any enzyme that performs proteolysis.
Does amylase break down tissue meat?
No, you need protease to break down meat.
What class or group of enzymes breaks down proteins?
The protease ensymes are digestive ensyme that break down protein.
Which substrate is digested by the enzyme protease?
Proteases break down proteins by hydrolysis (addition of a water molecule to break a bond) into amino acids. The substrate the protease enzyme works on is protein. Enzymes are often named for the substrates they catalyse (or break down).
What produces enzymes that break down carbohydrates and proteins called?
Amylase for carbs Protease for protein
