Pregunta Respuesta
What are proteins made of? Long chains of amino acids
What is meant by the term 'denatured'? The protein/enzyme changes shape and will stop working
Which enzyme digests starch? Amylase
Where is bile produced? In the liver
Which enzyme is used to convert glucose into fructose? Isomerase
How do enzymes get into rivers? Water from dishwashers and washing machines passes into the sewage system and may eventually reach the rivers
Which two factors can alter the shape of an enzyme? Temperature and pH
Where is amylase produced? Salivary glands, pancreas and the small intestine
What are the products of lipid (fat) digestion? Fatty acids and glycerol
Which acid is produced by the stomach? Hydrochloric acid
What is the function of bile? Bile neutralises acid from the stomach when food passes into the small intestine
Why are proteases used in baby foods? The protease pre-digests protein so the baby can absorb it more easily
Give two types of reaction controlled by enzymes in the cells Two of: Builds large molecules from small molecules, changes one molecule into another, breaks down large molecules into small molecules
Why does increasing the temperature increase the rate of a reaction? The molecules have more energy so they move around faster and collide more often and more vigorously so there are more frequent collisions in a given time
Give one advantage of using enzymes in industry Less energy or expensive equipment is needed because the reactions can take place at normal temperature and pressure
Give one disadvantage of using enzymes in industry Costly to produce, denatured at high temperatures
Why do biological washing powders work more efficiently than non-biological powders? The enzymes speed up the digestion of stains from food, blood and grass, plus lower temperatures can be used in washing machines
