What do we call substances likie amylase and protease which speed up chemical reactionds?
Substances like amylase and protease that speed up chemical reactions are called enzymes. Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They are crucial for various physiological processes in living organisms.
What else can I help you with?
What is the enzyme that decomposes biodegradable mat'ls?
protease and amylase
Does amylase break down tissue meat?
No, you need protease to break down meat.
What are the examples of enzyme catalysts?
Examples of enzyme catalysts include amylase (digests carbohydrates), protease (digests proteins), and lipase (digests fats). Each of these enzymes helps to speed up specific chemical reactions in the body.
Why would protease not control the same reaction as amylase?
Protease and amylase are enzymes that catalyze different types of reactions due to their specific substrate targets. Protease breaks down proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids, while amylase hydrolyzes starches into sugars. Their distinct active sites and substrate affinities mean that they are designed to facilitate different biochemical processes, making them ineffective in controlling the same reaction. Thus, each enzyme plays a unique role in metabolism and digestion.
What proteins activate some chemical reactions in the body?
Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts to activate and regulate chemical reactions in the body. They lower the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur, allowing it to proceed at a faster rate. Examples include digestive enzymes like amylase, protease, and lipase.
Is salivary amylase mechanical or chemical digestion?
no, amylase is for carbohydrates. For proteins it's protease :)
What is the names of the enzymes in the small intestine?
Amylase, Protease And Lipase
What is the enzyme that decomposes biodegradable mat'ls?
protease and amylase
What type of enzymes are in Tide?
Most likely protease and amylase enzymes.
What plant enzymes are helpful in predigestion?
protease, amylase, lipase, and cellulase
Does amylase break down tissue meat?
No, you need protease to break down meat.
What produces enzymes that break down carbohydrates and proteins called?
Amylase for carbs Protease for protein
What does pancreatic juice contains?
Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), amylase, lipase, protease and trypsin/trypsinogen.
What kind of words end in -zyme?
Words that end in -zyme typically refer to enzymes, which are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions in living organisms. Examples include protease, lipase, and amylase.
What type of enzymes act on pizza when they travel through your digestive system?
Well , this depends on the contents of the pizza ,suppose that the pizza contains proteins , carbohydrates and fats , then :-Amylase acts on Starch in your mouth and through out the oesophagus ;Pepsin ( Protease ) acts on proteins in your stomach ;Pancreatic Protease , Pancreatic Amylase and Lipase act on Fats in the duodenum and through out the rest of the digestive system .There are more substances that act on the pizza , but they aren't enzymes (as bile from liver ).
What pancreas secretes?
The pancreas secretes amylase, lipase, protease and hydrogen carbonate into the duodenum in the small intestine.
Do you capitalize enzyme names?
Yes, because they are proper nouns. Examples: Protease Amylase Lipase Cellulase
