What else can I help you with?
What is a mRNA destroyer?
A mRNA destroyer is an enzyme called ribonuclease that breaks down messenger RNA molecules within a cell. This process helps regulate gene expression by controlling the levels of specific proteins in the cell.
How is glycogen broken down in the body?
Glycogen is broken down in the body through a process called glycogenolysis. This process involves the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase breaking down glycogen into glucose molecules, which can then be used for energy by the body.
Acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft is broken down by?
Acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft is broken down by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. This enzyme rapidly hydrolyzes acetylcholine into choline and acetate, terminating the signal transmission at the synapse.
Would you expect a fat and a sugar molecule to be acted upon by the same enzyme?
No, typically fat molecules are broken down by lipase enzymes, while sugar molecules are broken down by amylase or sucrase enzymes. Each enzyme is specialized to break down specific types of molecules based on their chemical structure.
Which enzyme is secreted by saliva?
The enzyme is called salivary amylase, and it helps break down some of the starch in the food. The majority of the starch is still broken down by the pancreatic juices in the small intestine.
Which Luciferin is broken down in cells controlled by?
an enzyme
What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
starch can be broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme amylase
What does proteins breakdown into?
protein breaks down into pectiducts from the trypsin enzyme, then it is further broken down by pectin enzyme into amino acids
Why is starch not broken down at high temperatures?
The enzyme amylase is denatured by the high temp. The starch cannot be broken down
What does vitamins turn into when broken down by an enzyme?
Chuck Norris's Grandmother
What molecule increases the rate at which starch is broken down into glucose?
Enzyme
How cells replace the enzymes that are broken down?
Cells replace broken down enzymes through a process called protein synthesis. When enzymes are degraded, their genetic blueprints in the form of mRNA are transcribed from DNA in the nucleus. Ribosomes then translate this mRNA into new enzyme proteins, which fold into their active forms and enter the cellular environment to restore functionality. Additionally, cellular mechanisms like chaperone proteins assist in the proper folding and assembly of these new enzymes.
What will slow down the reaction rate of maltose broken down into glucose molecules by the enzyme maltase?
Factors that could slow down the reaction rate of maltose being broken down into glucose molecules by maltase include low enzyme concentration, low temperature, and a pH that is not optimal for the enzyme's activity.
What does protein break into?
I'm assuming you're talking about digestion. Proteins are broken down by enzyme pepsin in the gastric juice in stomach to form polypeptides. Proteins are also broken down by enzyme trypsin in the pancreatic juice in the duodenum to form polypeptides. Polypeptides are then broken down by enzyme erepsin in intestinal juice in small intestines (ileum) to form amino acids.
What product is formed when fat is broken down by the enzyme lipase?
fatty acids.
What macromolecules is first broken down in the stomach?
Proteins are the macromolecules that are first broken down in the stomach. The enzyme pepsin helps to break down proteins into smaller peptides.
What breaks down hemoglobin in the body?
Hemoglobin in the body is broken down by an enzyme called heme oxygenase.
