Enzymes Flashcards
Catalyse
Substance Which increase the speed of a reaction
What is a enzyme
Are catalysts
Enzymes are
Proteins and all protons are made up of chains of amino acids
Proteins act as a struck compents
Of tissues eg muscles hormones and antibodies
Enzyme shape
Unquie shape so that they can catalyse reaction
Chemical reaction invole
Being spilt apart or joined together
What happends if ph is to high
Enzymes starts or will denature
Digestive enzymes breakdown big molecule into what
Big molecules into smaller ones
Big molecules are
Starch proteins fats
Smaller molecules are
Sugars amino acids glycerol
Amylase converts what into sugars and made it what 3 places
Amalyse converts starch into sugars
Found in salivary glands, pancreas, small intestine
Protease converts ?into amino acids and found in what 3 places
Protease converts proteins into amino acids
Found in stomach pancreas, small intestine
Lipase converts what into glycerol and fatty acids , and fou in in what 2 places
Lipase converts lipids into glucerol and fatty acids
Found in pancreas and small intestine
Bile uses
Neautrailes stomach acid and emulsifies fats
Produced in the liver,stored in the bladder before released In small intestine.
Breakdown of foods is catalysed by
Enzymes
And in digestive system they are produced by specialised cells in glands and gut lining.
Different enzymes catalyse the breakdown of different food molecules.
