Biology - Enzymes Flashcards
Where is amylase produced?
salivary glands
stomach
small intestine
Where is protease produced?
stomach
pancreas
small intestine
Where is lipase produced?
pancreas
small intestine
What does amylase coverts carbohydrates into?
simple sugars
what does protease break proteins intp?
amino acids
what does lipase break down lipids into?
glycerol
fatty acids
What does the stomach do?
produces hydrochloric acid + protease
contracts and churns food
what does the small intestine?
produces all three enzymes
digests fats
what does the large intestine do?
absorbs water into the blood
processes waste
what does the gall bladder do?
stores excess bile
how does the glucose concentration in the blood compare to the glucose in the small intestine?
there is a lower concentration in the blood
explain the lock and key method?
substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme
substrate is able to fit in the active site as it is made to be able to fit in there
the substrate splits into its products which leave the active site
the enzyme is ready to used again
what factors effect enzymes?
temperature
pH
