Enzymes Flashcards
what does bile do
bile neutralises stomach acids and emulsifies fats increasing the surface area of the fats
it is made in the liver
it’s store in the gall bladder
what do lipase do
lipase breaks down fats & turns them into fatty acids & glycerol
How is fat broken down into molecules so it can be absorbed by the body?
mechanical break down- teeth break down fats into smaller bits with teeth
lipase break down he fats and turns into fatty acid and glycerol, this is the product of the fat being digested
where is lipase produced
the pancreas and small intestine
what is an industrial use of lipase
lipase is often used in washing powders as they can break down fats at low temperatures
protyase
protyase enzymes are used in baby food, their substrate, protein, is catabolised into peptides, which are shorter amino acid chains that are easier to digest
use of isomerase
glucose can be converted into fructose using the isomerase enzyme, fructose is sweeter than glucose so less is needed, often used in the slimming industry
what are catabolism and anabolism
catabolism- breaking down
anabolism- building up
what is starch made of
glucose
what does amylase do
converts starch into sugars
why does the stomach produce hydrochloric acid
to kill bacteria
where are amylase produced
salivary glands
small intestine wall
pancreas
which enzymes are produced in the small intestine
protease
lipase
amylase
what do i know about lipids?
lipase converts lipids into fatty acids and glycerol
lipase are made in the small intestine wall, and the pancreas
an industrial use is in washing powders
