Enzymes are like complex biological catalysts (matter of fact, that's exactly what they are..). They help your body break down certain proteins, vitamins, and other molecules. People who are lactose intolerant lack an enzyme to process lactose (a complex sugar in most milk). They must either drink lactose-free milk, or take certain supplements that introduce lactose enzymes into the body.

Example of membrane bound enzymes?
Membrane bound enzymes are enzymes in a membrane that are responsible for the maintenance of cellular functions such as ion transport, secretion and uptake of a variety of substances, as well as cell to cell interactions. A membrane-bound organelle is an organelle surrounded by a plasma membrane.
What is the antimicrobial enzyme found in tears?
lysozyme
What protein classes are not found as membrane proteins - identity markers or receptors or transport channels or enzymes or hormones?
Hormones are not found as membrane proteins.
Is cellulase a plant enzyme or an animal enzyme?
Cellulase is an enzyme found in herbivorous animals as it assists the breakdown of cellulose found in all plant matter.
What enzyme converts glucose to ethanol during fermentation?
Zymase, found in yeast
What are the four types of protein in a cell membrane?
transport proteins receptor proteins enzyme proteins cholesterol
Are respiratory enzyme located in mitocondrial membrane?
Yes
Where ETS enzyme located in the mitochondria?
inner membrane
How lysosomal membrane protected from lysosomal enzyme?
The lysosomal membrane are protected from the lysosomal enzyme because of the spherical vesicles. The enzymes of the lysosomes are synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
The membrane-bound enzyme system that restores and maintains the resting membrane potential is what pump?
sodium-potassium
An enzyme and a membrane receptor molecule are similar?
acts as catalysts
Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme located on or immediately outside the?
postsynaptic membrane
Where are membrane proteins are found?
Surprisingly, membrane proteins are found in or attached to the membrane.
What enzyme is embedded in the inner membrane transport chain?
ATP Synthase is embedded in the inner membrane electron transport chain.
What is the membrane ATPase and what does it do?
ATPase Is an enzyme that works in and around the membrane to break down ATP (Energy Made By The Mitochondria) into ADP
Can ATP synthase move about in the cytosol of the mitochondrian?
Definitely not, as ATP synthase is a membrane-bound enzyme. It is integrated into the inner mitochondrial membrane (and the thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts).
What is a enzyme found in pancreatic juices?
An enzyme found in pancreatic juices is amylase, trypsin, and lipase.
