Enzymes

• Saliva contrains what enzyme

  amylase
• the liver produces what

  bile and is stored in the gall bladder before going to small intestine
• What does bile do in the stomach/ small intestine

  biles EMULSIFIES LIPIDS to form droplets, which increase their surface area
• Other than HCl what does the stomach also contain?

  Enzymes
• What does the Pancreas secrete?

  Amylase
• Where is amylase formed and what does it do

  formed in pancreas and breaks down starch into glucose in the small intestine
• enzymes are specific, they only break down what


  substrate that fit their active site
• what enzyme breaks down carbohydrates?

  Carbohydrase's- eg amylase breaks down starch into glucose
• What enzyme breaks down proteins

  proteases break them down into amino acids
• what break down lipids

  lipases break down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol
• rate of enzyme activity is increased by what

  temperature, the optimum temperature is 37#
• what happens to an enzyme if the temperature is too high

  the enzyme will denature
