In the small intestine, the brush borders of the intestinal lining are the site of terminal carbohydrate digestions. The microvilli that constitute the brush border have enzymes for this final part of digestion anchored into their apical plasma membrane as integral membrane proteins. These enzymes are found near to the transporters that will then allow absorption of the digested nutrients.

What enzymes break down glucose?
glucase
What enzymes help break down starch into glucose?
The main enzymes that help break down starch into glucose are amylase enzymes. These enzymes can be found in the saliva and pancreatic secretions of humans and in various microorganisms. Amylase enzymes work by breaking the bonds between glucose units in the starch molecule, leading to the formation of simpler sugars like glucose.
What enzymes speed up the break down of protein in food?
Glucose
What does intestinal gland produce?
They secrete enzymes to break down maltose into glucose.
Is dissacharidase a brush border enzyme?
Brush border enzymes are enzymes produced by the microvilli in the small intestine, carrying out some of the final stages of enzymatic digestion. These enzymes are not released into the lumen and digestion can only occur if the chyme is in contact with the brush border. Intestinal churning of chyme ensures that they come into contact with the mucosa.
When glucose is needed by the cell which organelles secrete enzymes in order to begin glucose breakdown?
When glucose is needed by the cell, enzymes are secreted primarily by lysosomes and the endoplasmic reticulum. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that can break down macromolecules, including glycogen, into glucose. The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in synthesizing proteins, including enzymes that facilitate metabolic processes such as glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. Together, these organelles play a crucial role in the mobilization and breakdown of glucose for cellular energy.
What food molecule starch or glucose will pass easily through the wall of the small intestine?
glucose because it can easily break down by enzymes than starch
How do the lysomes break down food material inside a vacuole?
Lysosomes pour enzymes into the vacuole to break apart (digest) the chains of glycogen into glucose.
What kind of polysaccharide cannot be digested by human beings?
Humans cannot break down cellulose because it contains beta glucose and the enzymes that humans have cannot break down beta glucose.
What does lactose break down into?
Lactose functions at the brush border to break down lactose into smaller sugars called glucose and galactose for absorption.
Enzymes used in glycolysis?
Examples of enzymes used in glycolysis include hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase. These enzymes play key roles in catalyzing specific reactions within the glycolytic pathway, helping to break down glucose into pyruvate and generate ATP.
What happens when enzymes are added to starch suspension?
Enzymes, such as amylase, break down starch molecules into simpler sugars like glucose. This process is called hydrolysis. The enzymes speed up the reaction, resulting in the starch suspension becoming thinner or turning into a clear solution as the starch is broken down.
