Exp. 3_Post Lab Flashcards
an enzyme that hydrolyzes peptide bonds to amino acids, cleaving peptide bonds between hydrophobic and aromatic amino acids
Pepsin
Pepsin is only active in a ______ environment
Acidic
Pepsin is active in acidic environment, having an optimum pH of
1.5-2.0
Proenzyme________ is released by the chief cells in the stomach wall.
pepsinogen
Amylase in saliva with optimum pH of
6.7-7.0
an enzyme that hydrolyzes α-1,4-glycosidic bonds in starch producing oligosaccharides, maltose or glucose or dextrin depending on the time spent in the mouth of the food
Amylase
Amylase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes___________ in starch producing oligosaccharides, maltose or glucose or dextrin depending on the time spent in the mouth of the food
α-1,4-glycosidic bonds
In pepsin test: _____ reacts with starch forming a blue-black solution
Iodine
an enzyme that protects organisms from the effects of hydrogen peroxide
Catalase
is a powerful oxidizing agent and is potentially damaging to cells
H2O2
breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas
Catalase
Potato catalase - enzyme found in potato, optimum pH =
7.0
is active with the presence of acid thus catalysis the breaking down of proteins into amino acids.
Pepsin
hydrolyses glycosidic bonds of carbohydrates turning them to oligosaccharides or dextrins.
Amylase
In amylase reaction
