Starch and cellulose require different digestive enzymes for the same reason that different locks require different keys. The specific shape, and distribution of electrical charge in any given molecule determines the specific enzyme that will be needed to digest it. Every chemical is different.
What else can I help you with?
What type of bond does cellulose have?
Cellulose has beta-glycosidic bonds between its glucose molecules, which are linked in a linear chain through dehydration synthesis reactions. These bonds are strong and require specific enzymes to break down the cellulose structure.
Do enzymes require ATP for their catalytic activity?
No, enzymes do not require ATP for their catalytic activity.
What is the function of cell lyosomes?
Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes (acid hydrolases). They digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. The membrane surrounding a lysosome allows the digestive enzymes to work at the 4.5 pH they require. Lysosomes fuse with vacuoles and dispense their enzymes into the vacuoles, digesting their contents.
Suggest why the Ph of the gut secretions varies at different regions in the gut?
the answer to your question is simple and easily comprehensible.Since there are lots of different enzymes being secreted in the stomach(enzymes are made of protein and can be denatured by alternation of pH), each of these enzymes require to have their specific optimal pH.Grade 12West Vancouver Secondary 2010
What nutrient are essential for body growth or repair?
Proteins. And proteins require different vitamins, enzymes, minerals and amino acids to function properly.
Nutrient that is essential for body growth and repair?
Proteins. And proteins require different vitamins, enzymes, minerals and amino acids to function properly.
Metabolic reactions require organic catalysts called?
Metabolic reactions require organic catalysts called enzymes. These enzymes help to speed up chemical reactions within cells by lowering the activation energy needed for the reactions to occur. Each enzyme is specific to a particular reaction or set of reactions.
Why do seeds need enzymes to convert starch for germination?
Seeds require enzymes to break down starch into simple sugars during germination because the plant embryo cannot use the larger starch molecules directly for energy. The enzymes help to convert starch into a form that the plant can easily use as a source of energy to support its initial growth until it can start photosynthesizing on its own.
Often enzymes require a in order for them to function as a catalyst?
yes
What are specific processes that occur in cells that require enzymes?
digestion
Does recombinant DNA technology use enzymes but does not require a source of energy?
Recombinant DNA technology uses enzymes, such as restriction enzymes and ligases, but does not require a source of external energy to catalyze the reactions. The enzymes themselves catalyze the DNA manipulation reactions without the need for additional energy inputs.
What is the optimum pH range for enzymes?
The optimum pH range for enzymes is typically around neutral pH (around pH 7). However, this can vary depending on the specific enzyme and its natural environment. Enzymes may be denatured or have reduced activity outside of their optimal pH range.
