Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. Catalysts are substances that accelerate a chemical reaction. They decrease the activation energy of a chemical reaction.
What else can I help you with?
What enzyme is responsible for fat digestion?
the lipase enzyme :)
What role does the milk digestion enzyme play in breaking down lactose in the body?
The milk digestion enzyme, lactase, breaks down lactose into simpler sugars, glucose and galactose, in the body. This allows the body to absorb and utilize these sugars for energy.
Restriction enzyme digestion?
Yes?
What enzyme do in digestion?
speed up chemical reation....breaking down food
What is the difference between amalyase and lipase?
Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates (starches) into sugars, while lipase is an enzyme that breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Both enzymes play important roles in the digestion process in the body.
What systems are involved in controlling the speed of digestion?
The nervous system, including the enteric nervous system in the gut, and the endocrine system through the release of hormones such as gastrin and cholecystokinin, play key roles in controlling the speed of digestion. Hormones can stimulate or inhibit digestive processes, while neural signals can modulate muscle contractions and enzyme secretion to regulate the pace of digestion.
Is pepsin an enzyme assist in carbohydrate digestion?
No
What enzyme completes the digestion of proteins?
Trypsin completes the digestion of proteins. Pepsin in the stomach starts the digestion of proteins.
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is?
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is pepsin. Pepsin is released by the mucosal lining of the stomach.
What is enzyme that begins milk digestion?
the answer is pepsin.
What is the key enzyme in digestion of polysaccharides?
alpha-amylase
Which enzymes are at work during digestion?
During digestion the enzyme in saliva works on cooked food
