What else can I help you with?
Which pancreatic enzymes acts on glycogen and starches?
The pancreatic enzyme that acts on glycogen and starches is amylase. Amylase breaks down these complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars such as maltose and glucose, which can be absorbed by the body for energy.
What is the name of the enzyme in saliva and what compound is produced when this enzyme acts on starch?
the enzyme ptylin or some amylase and it converts starch to maltose
What is the enzyme called that acts upon the substrate pepsin?
The enzyme that acts upon the substrate pepsin is also called pepsin. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme produced in the stomach that helps break down proteins into smaller peptides.
What is the point or site an enzyme acts on?
The point or site on a substrate where an enzyme acts is known as the active site. This is where the enzyme binds to the substrate molecule to facilitate the chemical reaction. The active site is specific to each enzyme and plays a crucial role in catalyzing the reaction.
Is an enzyme a type of protein?
Yes, an enzyme is a type of protein that acts as a biological catalyst to speed up chemical reactions in living organisms.
What is the job of ptyalin?
The enzyme ptyalin ,or salivary amylase acts on starches and converts them to maltose.
Which pancreatic enzymes acts on glycogen and starches?
The pancreatic enzyme that acts on glycogen and starches is amylase. Amylase breaks down these complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars such as maltose and glucose, which can be absorbed by the body for energy.
The enzyme from pancreatic juice that acts on sugar is?
Amylase, or Amylopsin
What is amylase do?
Amylase is an enzyme which acts on starch.Amylase breaking it down to sugar.
What is the name of the enzyme in saliva and what compound is produced when this enzyme acts on starch?
the enzyme ptylin or some amylase and it converts starch to maltose
What are amylases?
Amylase is an enzyme which acts on starch, breaking it down to sugar/glucose.
What does a substrate do?
A subtrate is a reactant an enzyme acts off of. This fits into the active site and turns into the products
What is the simplest type of carbohydrate commonly known as a simple sugar which acts as a building block for larger carbohydrates such as starches?
monosaccharide
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
Is enzyme is a protein that acts as a biological catalyst?
Yes, that is exactly what an enzyme is.
What acts in your body as a catalyst?
Enzyme
Where does lactase help the body do?
Any enzyme has -ase at the end of it's name. The first part of the name is what it acts on or what its' substrate is. Lact- means milk sugar. This enzyme breaks down milk sugar (lactose) into simpler sugars that can be absorbed by the body. Some people are lacking in the enzyme (they don't make it) and are said to lactose intolerant. The two sugars are used by the cell for energy.
