What enzymes are responsible for the final chemical breakdown of carbohydrates and amino acids and nucleic acids?
Brush border enzymes
What does nucleic acid have that carbs or amino acids do not?
I assume you must want phosphorous as the answer. Neither amino acids or carbohydrates contain the element phosphorous.
Which enzymes are responsible for the final chemical breakdown of carbohydrates and amino acids and nucleic acids?
Trypsin and chymotrypsin break down proteins. Lipase breaks down lipids. Amylase breaks down starches and carbohydrates
What are the 4 major classes of organic compounds?
carbohydrates,lipids,proteins,and nucleic acids
What is the formula for antimony oxide?
Antimony is a moderately active element. It does not combine with oxygen in the air at room temperature. It also does not react with cold water or with most cold acids. It does dissolve in some hot acids, however, and in aqua regia. Aqua regia is a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids. It often reacts with materials that do not react with either acid separately.
