Proteins
What are the 4 levels of proteins?
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
Quaternary
Digestion includes what type(s) of break down of food?
Mechanical, and chemical.
Elements that enter the chemical reaction is known as a?
Reactant
What do enzymes act as?
They act as biological catalysts.
Temperature can cause?
If it is increased it denatures, loses shape, and unfolds. If it decreases the molecules move slower, and there are fewer collisions between enzyme and substrate.
Each chain is called a what?
Subunit
The digestion system includes?
It includes the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.
Activation energy is what?
The initial input of energy starting the chemical reaction.
CAn enzymes be used up?
No enzymes can not be used up or changed.
Enzymes that lose their shape and can no longer perform their function is known as?
Denatured.
Where is pepsin and where is trypsin found?
Pesin is found in the stomach and trypsin is found in the intestines.
What aid in digestion?
These include the salivary glands, pancreas, and liver, and gallbladder.
Elements produced by a chemical reaction ar known as a?
Product
What do enzymes increase?
The increase the rate of the reaction without increasing the tempeture.
Changes in pH can cause?
It can cause sleepiness, fatigue, headache, loss of appetite, confusion, and vomiting when it is to high. When the pH is to low it can cause drowsiness, stupor, coma, and death in coma.
The reaction rate is directly related to?
Enzyme concentration.
Where does digestion start?
The mouth.
The liver produces bile and is stored where?
In the gallbladder.
What are enzymes specific to?
Substrates.
What does the pancreas produce?
It produces enzymes and sodium bicarbonate.
The reaction rate can reach a maximum when the enzyme is?
Saturated.
Through mechanical digestion what pushes food down the esophagus?
Peristalsis.
Chyme from the stomach will further break down in the?
Small intestine.
What is the active site.
It is the site where enzymes and substrates connect with their perfect shape. Helping the chemical reaction move more easily. When a substrate combines with the active site a enzyme-substrate complex is formed.
What does the liver produce?
The liver produces bile.
