Enzyme Characteristics
Enzymes are made of this type of macromolecule.
What is a protien?
This is the enzyme that breaks lactose.
What is lactase?
The energy needed to start reaction is called this.
What is the activation energy?
This is 1 of 3 organs that digest mechanically.
What is the mouth, stomach or small intestine?
This enzyme begins the hydrolysis of proteins (and needs this molecule to function)?
What is pepsin (and hydrochloric acid - HCl)?
This (generally) occurs when an enzyme is placed in extreme basic conditions.
What is denature?
The place where a substrate fits into an enzyme.
What is the active site?
This happens to the activation energy of a reaction when an enzyme is present.
What is lowers?
This organ reabsorbs water.
What is the large intestine?
Amylases are used in these two human digestive organs.
What is mouth and small intestine?
This is the name of an enzyme that breaks down polysaccharides and disaccharides.
What is amylase?
This type of reaction has more energy in the bonds of the products than the bonds of the reactants.
What is endergonic?
This organ finishes digestion, but mostly absorbs monomers and subunits into the bloodstream.
What is the small intestine?
Proteases are made in the pancreas and released in the small intestine where its breaks this into these final products.
What is proteins into amino acids?
This occurs when an enzyme is placed in a very cold environment.
What is slow down?
This acts as an emulsifier (breaks into smaller droplets) for lipids.
What is bile?
The process of digestion has this type of energy diagram.
What is exergonic?
These structures make the small intestine's function even better by increasing its surface area.
What is villi?
This is 1 of 3 enzymes that complete the digestion of carbohydrates.
What is sucrase, maltase or lactase?
Some enzymes need these additional molecules and/or ions to make its active site work properly.
What is a coenzyme or cofactor?
This accessory organ makes the emulsifier for lipids.
What is the liver?
-CHALLENGE- (will not be on the test). This change occurs to any energy diagram when an inhibitor is added to a reaction.
What is increase the activation energy?
The wave-like, one-way muscular contractions of the digestive system is called this.
What is peristalsis?
This enzyme is responsible for creating the products glycerol and fatty acids.
What is lipase?
