What else can I help you with?
What type of macromolecule is lactase?
as a general rule, anything ending in -ase is an enzyme, so lactase is an enzyme that breaks down molecules of lactose
What type of organic molecule is lactase?
Lactose is a carbohydrate and is an organic compound.
Is an enzyme a substance?
Yes, an enzyme is a substance, an organic substance, because it is a protein, and all proteins contain carbon, which is the definition of an organic substance. I had to find this out for Biology GCSE and found that not many people actually knew. Hope it helps :O)
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 kind of molecule is an enzyme-?
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
What type of macromolecule is lactase?
as a general rule, anything ending in -ase is an enzyme, so lactase is an enzyme that breaks down molecules of lactose
Is lactase a sweetener?
No. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose, which is a sweetener, sort of: it's a type of sugar.
What type of biomelecule is lactose?
as a general rule, anything ending in -ase is an enzyme, so lactase is an enzyme that breaks down molecules of lactose
What type of organic molecule is lactase?
Lactose is a carbohydrate and is an organic compound.
Is an enzyme a type of protein?
Yes, an enzyme is a type of protein that acts as a biological catalyst to speed up chemical reactions in living organisms.
What type of biochemical molecule is an enzyme?
An enzyme is a type of protein that acts as a biological catalyst, speeding up chemical reactions in living organisms.
What does lactose do?
Firstly, I think you phrased this question wrong because lactose is a substrate. It is the job of lactase (and enzyme) to break down lactose. Some people are lactose intolerant because their bodies do not have enough lactase enzymes to break down lactose.
Lactase amylase cellulase are what type of molecules?
Lactase, amylase, and cellulase are enzymes. Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions in living organisms. Each of these enzymes plays a specific role in breaking down lactose, starch, and cellulose, respectively.
Is an enzyme a substance?
Yes, an enzyme is a substance, an organic substance, because it is a protein, and all proteins contain carbon, which is the definition of an organic substance. I had to find this out for Biology GCSE and found that not many people actually knew. Hope it helps :O)
Substance that enzyme act upon?
Enzymes act upon specific molecules called substrates. Each enzyme has a unique shape that allows it to bind to a specific substrate, facilitating a chemical reaction to occur. This specific binding of enzyme to substrate is key to the enzyme's ability to catalyze reactions in living organisms.
What type of enzyme is plasmin?
Blood enzyme
Which type of enzyme removes hair from skin?
The Enzyme Skin Peel is the type of enzyme that removes hair from the skin.
