What suffix is at the end of many names for sugars?
-ose, as in fructose, glucose, lactose, etc.
Is sucrose a substrate?
The Substrate for amylase are starch (amylose and Amylopectin), glycogen, and various Oligosaccharides.
What is Sugar chemical name?
Sucrose
Name another protein that speeds up chemical reactions during cellular respiration?
There are a variety of enzymes that participate in the process of cellular respiration. Each metabolic step in the pathway is typically facilitated by a specific enzyme that effectively speeds up the rate of reaction.
What enzyme would catalyze the breakdown of a disaccharide?
Modern enzymes are usually named by incorporating the name of the polymer hydrolyzed and the suffix "-ase". So following those rules, the enzyme that breaks down lactose is lactase.
What are the names of some enzymes?
Hydrolases - Hydrolysis of a substrate - digestive enzyme isomerases - change of the molecular form of the substrate - famerase
What is the name of the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of lactose.?
lactase
What enzyme digests sugars?
Sucrase is the enzyme (called a disaccharidase) that digests sucrose, the major disaccharide in table sugar.
What is the name of the substance that speeds up chemical reactions?
This substance is called catalyst; and in living systems it is an enzyme.
What is another name for a protein catalysts that speeds up chemical reactions during cellular respiration?
An enzyme
What name is given to a biological catalyst found in saliva?
The enzyme amylase is a biological catalyst found in saliva. It catalyzes the breakdown of starch. Note that not everyone secretes the enzyme amylase in their saliva.
What three letters in the enzyme's name tells that is the enzyme?
Scientists support the "lock and key" model below for how an enzyme speeds up chemical reactions.The letters "ASE" at the end of words help us identify enzymes.And their you have it.
What the name of process where sucrose converts to amylase?
Sucrose does not convert to amylase. Amylase is an enzyme which helps break down starches into sugar.The general process of breaking down large molecules into smaller ones in order for the body to use nutrition is called digestion.
Name digestive enzymes in mouth and stomach?
the enzyme produced in the stomach wall is mainly protease, this breaksdown the proteins in the food you have eaten
Can sucrose be digested by the human body?
Fructose needs to be processed through the liver. It can then be absorbed through the cells and turned into energy.
