Can lactase break down cellulose?
Yes, lactase can definitely break down cellulose. In fact, when the lactase works to break down the cellulose, it breaks the cellulose down into two different monomers.
How do you break down the word ophthalmoscope?
ophth almo scope that is you break the word ophthalmoscope
Do you think photodegradable plastic that is buried in a landfill will break down quickly why or why not?
No it won't a because photodegradable means it will break down if exposed to sunlight, but since it is in a land fill there won't be much exposure to the sun, so that means it will slowly break down in the land fill.
Does a plant break down sugar and releases energy using a process called femantation?
Yes they break down sugar and realeses energy using a process called femantation
Why do plants and animals break down sugar?
Plants do not necessarily break down sugar. They function as a major source of sugars. Animals need to break down sugars as part of aerobic respiration. Glucose is broken down into Carbon dioxide and water, and ATP is produced as the energy product.
What Enzymes are responsible for breakdown of starches?
They are Broken down by Amylase Enymes.
What enzyme break down maltose?
Maltase breaks down enzymes in the small intestine.
Why can't lipase break down starch?
Lipase can't break down maltose because it is meant to break down lipids. Maltose is a form of a carboydrate, which is broken down by maltase.
Maltase and sucrase is made in?
Maltase is an enzyme produced by the cells lining the small intestine.
What enzymes are needed to breakdown disaccharides?
The enzymes lactase, maltase, and isomaltase (or sucrase) are needed to break down the disaccharides.
What environmental conditions are required for maltase to get good results?
I am currently doing an assesment peice on Maltase, i haven't beena ble to find a great deal on the condtions in which it works best. I was hoping to find more than one condition but so far i have only found 1. Maltase is affected by the consistency of different temperatures. Whereas other enzymes may have the ability to adjust in different climates. It's important that the environment in which the enzyme maltase is located in is to be at the right consistency. It has been proven through science that the optimal function of maltase is in high temperatures. The enzyme is affected because the temperature of the climate affects the speed in which maltase breaks down starch. If the enzyme were located in a high temperature such as 70°c it would break down the molecules more rapidly as if it were portioned in a low temperature such as 5°c. so basically the higher the temperature the faster maltase will break down starch, the lower the temperature the slower it will break it down. i didn't get to test to see if it breaks it down at all in really cold temperaures. so perhaps you can research that.
What digestive enzymes are located in the plasma membranes of cells in the lining of the small intestine?
The plasma membranes of cells in the lining of the small intestine contain brush border enzymes, which are responsible for the final breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Some examples of these digestive enzymes include maltase, sucrase, lactase (to break down carbohydrates), peptidase (to break down proteins), and lipase (to break down fats).
What enzyme is used to make maltose?
Name of this enzyme is Maltese. It is present in the brush border of the lining of small intestine.
What in the small intestine breaks down maltose?
maltase
Which enzyme breaks down starch into glucose?
Amylase
What substance is acted on by maltase?
Maltase is an enzyme that acts on the compound maltose. It is present in saliva and pancreatic juice and catalyzes maltose into glucose.
The enzyme amylase can break glycosidic linkages between glucose monomers only if the monomers are the α form Which of the following could amylase break down?
can break down glycogen and starch (ex: amylopectin or amylose). But not cellulose which is made from beta form glucose. Amylase, present in saliva, breaks down starch into maltose and simple sugars. The maltose is then broken down in the small intestine by maltase into glucose.
