What else can I help you with?
Name digestive enzymes in mouth and stomach?
the enzyme produced in the stomach wall is mainly protease, this breaksdown the proteins in the food you have eaten
What is the name of the enzyme that breaks down fiber but is not found in the human body?
Cellulase is the enzyme that breaks down fiber but is not produced by the human body. It is commonly found in microbes like bacteria, fungi, and protozoa that inhabit the digestive systems of certain animals like cows and termites to help them digest plant material.
What is the purpose of lactase?
When we use the "ase" ending for a chemical, especially in a biological sense, we are talking about an enzyme. Which is a protein that enables a chemical change not otherwise possible. It is a biological catalyst. Each single reaction that requires an enzyme is different so there is a different enzyme for every kind of reaction needed! We name the enzymes after the chemical they act on. Cellulase is a chemical produced by cows that acts on cellulose (see how similar they look?) which is the main structural component of plants. (By the way, the "ose" ending means a starch or a sugar, like glucose, fructose, amylose....) This allows the cow to digest tough plant material that humans would need to cook before eating (leaves) or cannot eat at all (hay.)
What is a part of enzymes name usually derived from?
it depends. If you're talking about the origin of the name, then it's probably greek, or latin.
How are enzyme usually named?
Enzymes are typically named based on the substrate they act on, with the suffix -ase added to indicate their enzymatic function. For example, an enzyme that breaks down lactose is called lactase. Sometimes enzymes are also named based on their function or the organism they are derived from.
What is the name of the enzyme that breaks down starch?
The enzyme that breaks down starch is called amylase.
What is the name of the enzyme that breaks down starch in the digestive system?
The enzyme that breaks down starch in the digestive system is called amylase.
What is the name of an enzyme that breaks down fats?
Lipases
Write the name of an enzyme and define its clinical importance?
"protease"; an enzyme that breaks down proteins
What is Kombachi?
the unscientific name for the enzyme that breaks down alcohol in your body
What is the name of a carbohydrate enzyme?
Amylase is the most commonly thought of. This is the enzyme that breaks down starch into maltose.
Enzyme that breaks down Protein?
The general name for these enzymes is proteases
What is mushroom peroxidase?
A peroxidase is an enzyme that, as the name suggests, breaks down peroxides."Mushroom peroxidase" would be such an enzyme derived from mushrooms.
What is aneurinase?
Aneurinase is an enzyme that breaks down thiamine (vitamin B1) into other compounds. It is involved in thiamine metabolism in some microorganisms and has been studied for its potential in thiamine production.
What is the name of the enzyme in the mouth that breaks up carbohydrates?
Amylase
What is the name of the enzyme in saliva and what compound is produced when this enzyme acts on starch?
the enzyme ptylin or some amylase and it converts starch to maltose
What is the name of the enzyme that digests starch?
The enzyme that digests starch is called amylase. It breaks down starch into smaller carbohydrate molecules such as maltose and glucose for absorption in the body.
