Cards (7)

  • Bile
    From liver/gall bladder, breaks down fats, neutralises food
  • Lipase
    Breaks down lipids to fatty acids and glycerol
  • Saliva contains enzymes called amylase, which break down carbohydrates into simple sugars.
  • Enzymes speed up chemical reactions
  • Amylase
    type of carbohydrases enzyme,breaks down starch
  • Enzyme Temperature
    higher the temperature,the more activity a enzyme has
  • Maximum Energy for Enzymes
    It can reach a temperature where its reaction is the fastest it can be, but past that temperature the enzyme will stop, it becomes denatured-> it can not speed up reactions anymore
