What is the function of proteolytic enzymes and what do they make?
Proteolytic enzymes break down proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids. They are involved in various physiological processes, such as digestion, blood clotting, and cell signaling.
How enzymes help us get energy out of food?
Enzymes break down the chemicals in foods. Particular the carbohydrates into smaller units that can be used by the cells in the body.
How a mold growing on an orange obtains its food.?
As the fungal hyphae expand into the orange, they produce enzymes. These enzymes break down different chemicals in the orange. The degraded chemicals are then absorbed by the hyphae to be used as food.

What does mitochondria use to break down carbohydrates?

The chemicals present in the plants that break down the insects are most likely?
The chemicals are likely to be proteolytic enzymes, such as chitinase and protease, that break down the proteins and chitin in insects. Plants may also produce toxic compounds like alkaloids or lectins that can deter or kill insects.
What enzymes are required for digestion?
Many sorts of enzymes at different parts of the system. In the mouth enzymes to break down sugars, in the stomach enzymes to break down proteins and in the small intestine enzymes to break down fats and sugars.
What enzymes break down gelatin?
Protease enzymes
What is a catalyst referring to enzymes?
Enzymes are biocatalysts. They are complex proteins that exist in living organisms which perform specific reactions. For example: Lipases break down fats, Cellulases break down cellulase, and amylases break down starch. Enzymes are highly specific and work only on specific chemicals at certain enviromnental conditions (pH, temperature, etc.). Commercial enzymes are derived from bacterium, fungi and other small organisms. These hosts are engineered to produce specific enzymes.
Why is the liver and pancras so impoortatn in digestion?
because they release enzymes to help break down food or toxic chemicals in your system. the liver, through oxidation, breaks down the toxic chemicals. it is also responsible for breaking down fats. the pancreas is responsible for releasing insulin to help break down sugars
