How do the enzymes pectinase and cellulase aid in the extraction of DNA from strawberries?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
In a strawberry to extract the DNA it is required to break down the cell membrane (both the membrane protecting the cell as well as the membrane protecting the nucleus) and pectinase and cellulase in strawberries are enzymes that are break down these membrane...at least in a strawberry.

How enzymes act in extracting agar from seaweeds?
The enzyme cellulase extracts agar from seaweed by dissolving the cell walls of the leaves in the seaweed.
List 10 enzymes that are found in the human body?
Amylase- breaks bonds between carbohydrate molecules.Maltase- they target the sugars maltose, sucrose, and lactose to produce monosaccharides.Elastase- targets elastase to produce short-chain peptides.Trypsin- acts on proteins and polypeptides to produce short-chain peptides.Lipase- targets triglycerides to produce fatty acids and monoglycerides.
If Pectinase only breaks down pectin and It has no effect in cellulose What term is used to describe this characteristic of enzymes?
Enzymes are substrate specific; meaning that their active site only allows for a certain substrate to bind - in this case, pectin, and the enzyme has no effect on any other biological molecules
Lactase amylase cellulase are what type of molecules?
Each of these is an enzyme which speeds up a reaction in breaking down a substrate. Lactase helps in breaking down lactose, amylase helps with amylose, and cellulase helps with cellulose. All of these substrates are sugars.
What is DNA extraction?
There are three basic steps in a DNA extraction, the details of which may vary depending on the type of sample and any substances that may interfere with the extraction and subsequent analysis. * Chelate divalent cations such as Mg2+ and Ca2+ to stop dnase enzymes functioning and degrading the DNA * Break open cells by grinding or sonication, and remove membrane lipids by adding a detergent. * Precipitate DNA in cold ethanol or isopropanal, DNA is insoluble in alcohol and clings together; this step also removes salt.
How does pectinase produce apple juice?
Enzymes such as pectinase, amylase and cellulase are used in the production of fruit juice because they help to maximise the yield. This is because the enzymes break down the cell walls of the fruits and this makes it easier for the juice inside the fruit to come free. When the fruit's are being broken down a variety of polysaccharies are released which makes the juice cloudy, lowering it's market value. Pectinase and amylase can both break down these polysaccharides leaving soluble substances which leave the juice clear. Hope this helps. :)
What laundry detergent has enzymes?
cellulase and protienase enzymes are mostly used....
How do you make pectinase?
Pectinase breaks down pectin and is really not one enzyme, but a collection of many enzymes. I am not sure how to make it.
What helps a termite eat wood?
cellulase enzymes
What is a possible source of high-temperature cellulase enzymes?
A,s
How do cellulose and enzymes tie together?
Cellulose and enzymes don't tie , only Cellulase reacts with Cellulose .
What plant enzymes are helpful in predigestion?
protease, amylase, lipase, and cellulase
What enzyme is responsible for digesting carbohydrates?
salivary amylase (salivary glads) and pancreatic amylase (pancreas)
How do you obtain cellulase?
Most cellulase is extracted from fungal plant parasites. You can buy small amounts of the enzyme in powdered form through Karlan, Inc. There is a company in Japan named Yakult Pharmaceuticals that sells bulk cellulase (and other plant-chewing enzymes) for laboratory use. Even with overseas shipping, they are much cheaper. Cellulase and other enzymes are used in the lab to make plant protoplasts by chewing away the cell wall.
What is the name of the enzyme in omo?
there are 4 enzymes in omo, Amylase, Protease, Lipase- which help remove stains. and Cellulase Enzymes- which help whiten the clothes.
How is fungi harmful to paper?
Biodeterioration of paper materials is commonly caused by fungi, humid conditions favor the growth of fungi. Fungi play a role in destroying and degrading carbon and residue of nitrogen such as wood and paper. Fungi can produce hydrolytic enzymes such as cellulase, xylanase, pectinase.... Since the paper is made of cellulose and other materials, it can be destroyed and deteriorated by fungi.
What realeases enzymes to help us digest food?
Amylase, Lipase, Cellulase, Maltase, Lactase, Phytase, and Sucrase
