How do microorganisms break down materials?
They digest food with enzymes; breaking down large molecules into small ones.
What is the function of cofactors and co-enzymes?
co-enzymes are organic molecules that are required by certain enzymes to carry out catalysis while co-factors are often classified as inorganic substances that are required for, or increase the rate of, catalysis.
How are large DNA molecules cut up?
by using restriction enzymes
What organic compound catalyzes chemical reactions?
They are called enzymes, but there a probably billions of different enzymes. They are built from protein molecules decorated with sugars and sometimes include one or more metal atoms at their "active" site.
DOES The small intestine produce digestive enzymes?
Digestive enzymes are made in the pancreas, not the small intestine. The majority of enzymes are made in the pancreas and the small intestine. These include the carbohydrases, lipases and proteases which break down all the major molecules. Enzymes are also secreted in the mouth and stomach, altough fewer than in the pancreas / intestine.
Do digestive enzymes slow down digestion?
no it dont enzymes breaks down the large molecules into small molecules
Complex organic molecules that work with enzymes to facilitate the enzymes?
co-enzymes
Describe digestion and absorption of food in small intestine large intestine enzymes?
Colon
What are the special proteins that can break large molecules into small molecules?
These substances are called enzymes.
What is the relationship between digestion and enzymes?
Enzymes aid in the break down the large molecules of food products into small ones that are able to be digested (absorbed) by the intestines.
What are small organelles filled with enzymes that break down large molecules and organelles that are no longer useful?
Lysosome
What is a gland that helps the small intestine by producing enzymes that help break down food?
The Large Intestine
Are enzymes needed in large amounts to function?
no because: How do enzymes work? Enzymes work by breaking apart large complex compounds (substrates) into smaller, more readily absorbed nutrients that bacteria can utilize. Only very small quantities of enzymes are needed to change very large quantities of substrate: typically enzyme to substrate ratios can range from 1:1,000 to 1:1,000,000.
What do vitamins often function as?
Co-enzymes. Needed to complete the enzymes metabolic processes.
How do microorganisms break down materials?
They digest food with enzymes; breaking down large molecules into small ones.
Only small amounts of enzymes are required for reactions within cells because enzymes are?
Only small amounts of enzymes are required for reactions within cells because enzymes are reused.
Enzymes play an important role in biological chemistry because they?
Enzymes play an important role in biological chemistry because they lower the amount of energy required for a reaction to take place. Co-enzymes are small non protein molecules that help the enzymatic reaction.
