What else can I help you with?
What organ secretes carboxypeptidase?
Carboxypeptidase is secreted by Pancreas in inactive form (procarboxypeptidase) and is activated by trypsin. Carboxypeptidase is also secreted by small intestine as brush border enzyme. Reference: Human Anatomy and Physiology by Elaine N. Marieb
What is the function of the enzyme pepsin in the digestive system?
Pepsin is an enzyme that helps break down proteins in the stomach during digestion.
Chains of enzyme reactions that break down or build molecules are called pathways?
Yes, enzyme pathways involve a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that either break down or build molecules. These pathways are essential for biochemical processes in living organisms and are tightly regulated to ensure proper function.
What enzyme breaks down nucleic acids?
Digestive enzymes break down nucleic acids:)
What enzyme breaks down corn?
Digestive enzymes are enzymes that break down food into usable energy. The digestive enzyme that breaks down corn is called xylanese. Humans lack this enzyme.
What organ secretes carboxypeptidase?
Carboxypeptidase is secreted by Pancreas in inactive form (procarboxypeptidase) and is activated by trypsin. Carboxypeptidase is also secreted by small intestine as brush border enzyme. Reference: Human Anatomy and Physiology by Elaine N. Marieb
What enzyme works in the opposite direction of carboxypeptidase?
Aminopeptidase
What can the enzyme amylase break down?
The enzyme amylase can break down starch to maltose.
What enzyme break down of protein to peptides?
peptidase enzyme
Zinc an essential trace element for most organisms is present in the active site of the enzyme carboxypeptidase The zinc most likely functions as a?
Zinc in the enzyme carboxypeptidase likely functions as a cofactor, helping to stabilize the enzyme's structure and assist in catalyzing the reaction by participating in binding and activation of the substrate.
How does the human body break down starches?
The body uses enzymes called amylase to break down starches. This enzyme is structured to break down the starch and no other enzyme can perform this function.
Which enzyme break down lipids?
Lipases
How do horses break down cellulose?
Horses break down cellulose by use of enzyme cellulase.
What enzyme begins the break down of potato?
Amylase
An enzyme that breaks down starch will also break down proteins?
Proteases are enzymes which break down proteins. Each enzyme can only break down one substance (they are specific to one substrate). This is because their active site has a specific shape to fit a protein and will not fit a starch molecule.
What enzyme breakdown proteins?
Proteases break down proteins.
What is the function of proteinase?
This an enzyme which helps to break down proteins.
