CB1e Enzymes And Nutrition Flashcards
Bacteria disgest food by…
releasing digestive enzymes into their environments and then absorb the digested food
Part of protein molecule breaks down into
Amino acids
Part of starch molecule break down into
glucose molecules
Lipid meloecue breaks down into…
fatty acids and glycerol
Once small molecules are absorbed into the body…
they can be used to build the larger molecules that are needed in cells and tissues
Building larger molecules from smaller sunbits is known as…
synthesis
The breakdown of large molecules happens incredibly slowly and only if the bonds between the smaller sunbits have enough…
energy to break
Synthesis happens very slowly since the sunbits…
rarely collide with enough force or in the right orientation to form a bond
Many reactions can be sped up by using a…
catalyst
Biological catalyst
A substance found in living organisms, that speeds up the rate of the reaction without using itself up
The substances that enzymes break down are called…
substrates
The substancesthat enzymes produce are called
products
Amylase is found…
In the mouth and small intestine
Amylase breaks down…
Starch to small sugars
Catalase is found…
in liver cells
