Amylase, Protease & Lipase Flashcards
Where is amylase produced?
Salivary glands + Liver
Where is protease produced?
Stomach + Pancreas
Where is lipase produced?
Pancreas
What are the amylase reaction results?
Starch to Maltose
What are the protease reaction results?
Proteins to Amino Acids
What are the lipase reaction results?
Lipids to Fatty Acids + Glycerol
Why is correct PH important?
Prevent enzyme denaturation
What is osmosis?
Movement of water molecules from a higher to low water potential
What is diffusion?
Movement of small molecules from a high to low concentration
What is facilitated diffusion?
Movement of molecules from a high to low concentration using a channel or carrier protein
What is active transport?
Movement of molecules from a high to low concentration against a concentration gradient, requires ATP
What happens at the golgi?
Lipoprotein leave cell by exocytosis
