Answer 8

oxidoreductase

desugaring agent

Question 9

Answer 9

catalyse transfer of groups between or within molecules.

Question 10

Transglutaminase is an example of ____ and it is used in the food industry to ___

Answer 10

transferase

improve the texture in foods. It can be used to glue fish meat together. It Is used to make surimi.

Question 11

What is the role of hydrolase

Answer 11

catalysts that use water to break a chemical bond which typically results in dividing a larger molecule to smaller molecules

Question 12

What is the difference between hydrolase and lyases

Answer 12

alyaseis an enzyme that catalyzes the breaking (an “elimination” reaction) of various chemical bonds by means other than hydrolysis (a “substitution” reaction) and oxidation, often forming a new double bond or a new ring structure.

Question 13

histidine decarboxylase and fumarase are example of ___

Answer 13

lyases

Question 14

what is the role of isomerase

Answer 14

an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of a specified compound to an isomer (each of two or more compounds with the same formula but a different arrangement of atoms in the molecule and different properties.)

Question 15

glucose isomerase is an example of ____

Answer 15

isomerase

Question 16

What is the role of ligase

Answer 16

ligaseis anenzymethat cancatalyzethe joining of two large molecules by forming a newchemical bond, usually with accompanyinghydrolysisof a small pendant chemical group on one of the larger molecules or the enzyme catalyzing the linking together.
