answer section
Breaks down starch into sugars
True for …
Amylase
Starch is a carbohydrate.
Amylase is the enzyme which
breaks it down to make
simple sugars like glucose
Generally work best at 37oC
True for …
All of them
This is body
temperature and
digestive enzymes work
best at this temperature
Produces amino acids
True for …
Protease
Protease is the enzyme
for proteins and you get
amino acids when
proteins are broken up
Act as a catalyst to help digest food
True for …
All of them
A catalyst speeds up a
chemical reaction
without being part of
the actual reaction. This
is in effect a definition
of a digestive enzyme
Works best in low pH ( acid conditions)
True for …
Protease
Protease is produced in
the stomach which is
acidic. Most proteins are
broken down here.
Break down large particles into smaller ones
True for …
All of them
This is in effect a
definition of digestion.
All enzymes help this to
happen
Helps change fats into fatty acids and glycerol
True for …
Lipase
Lipase is the enzyme which
works for fats. Fats are large
molecules, made up of the
smaller particles called fatty
acids and glycerol
Can change shape at high temperatures
True for …
All of them
The enzyme no longer
works because the “lock
and key” do not match.
This change of shape is
also called being
“denatured”.
Made of proteins folded into a special shape
True for …
All of them
Digestive enzymes are
in fact proteins. A bit
confusing ! The special
shape makes the “lock
and key” match
Help to make glucose available in the blood stream
True for …
Amylase
Glucose is produced when
starch is broken down by
amylase during digestion.
It must pass into the
bloodstream so it is
available for respiration
