Simple enzymes are proteins that consist solely of amino acids and catalyze biochemical reactions without any additional components. Complex enzymes, on the other hand, are made up of a protein portion (the apoenzyme) and a non-protein component, such as a cofactor or coenzyme, which is necessary for their activity. The presence of these additional components often enhances the enzyme's catalytic efficiency and specificity. Examples of cofactors include metal ions, while coenzymes are typically organic molecules derived from vitamins.
What else can I help you with?
Enzymes are examples of which of these molecule groups?
Enzymes can be classified as either simple enzymes or complex enzymes. 1) Simple enzymes are predominantly made up of proteins. 2) Complex enzymes are enzymes that require cofactors like iron or zinc ions to function properly.
Is it true that enzymes are a protein that acts as a biological catalyst?
Yes; enzymes can be simple or complex molecules that serve to catalyze biological reactions.
What does starch end up as?
Starch is a polysaccharide ie. a very complex carbohydrate. Enzymes break it down into a di-saccharide - maltose. Another enzymes then converts this into the monosaccharide (simple sugar), glucose.
Complex organic molecules that work with enzymes to facilitate the enzymes?
co-enzymes
What breaks complex sugars into simple sugars and proteins down to amino acids?
The enzyme amylase breaks the complex sugars into simple sugars. The enzyme pepsin in the stomach breake the peptide bond to get peptides. The enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin from pancreas break the peptides to amino acids, in the small intestine.
What are the digestive enzyme?
Complex molecules are broken down into simple molecules by the action of specialised proteins called enzymes. The three digestive enzymes are:amylases, which act on the carbohydratesproteases, which act on the proteinslipases, which act on the lipids
What is amylase associated with?
Amylase is an enzyme. Almost all enzymes end with -ase. This enzyme works on complex carbohydrates to simple carbohydrates like sugars.
Why does bread taste sweet after sitting 5 minutes in your mouth?
Because your saliva contains enzymes that begin to break down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars.
How do fungi change complex food into simpler forms they can absorb?
They give off enzymes that break down complex foods. (novanet)
What is a simple complex carbohydrate?
There is no such thing as a simple complex carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are either simple or complex; they cannot be both.
Name the enzyme that breaks down carbohydrate?
Complex carbohydrates are broken down by the enzymes, salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase, and maltose. Simple carbohydrates on the other hand require little or none of these enzymes to break down.
When was Simple Complex created?
Simple Complex was created in 2003.
