My smaller bonds move to the small intestine where pancreatic enzymes break my amino acids. To continue‚ trypsin and chymotrypsin are released from the pancreas and duodenum to make the small chains of amino acids singular amino acids. Lastly‚ the villi absorbs the amino acids into the

They feed mainly by a process of extracorporeal digestion.

that enzyme. Most enzymes are named after the substrate on which they act by simply adding –ase to the root name of the substrate. A lipase then‚ would be an enzyme that acts on lipids‚ sucrase on sucrose‚ and so forth. Many enzymes‚ such as chymotrypsin‚ trypsin and lysozyme‚ have older names that do not end in –ase. Some enzymes owe their specific reactivity only to their specific protein structure. Others‚

roles and biological significance of the enzyme? Trypsin is part of the digestive system and degrades proteins‚ making it an enzyme known as protease. [1] It is one of the three principal digestive proteinases‚ the other two being pepsin and chymotrypsin. [9] Trypsin primarily hydrolyses peptides into smaller building-blocks‚ mainly amino acids (these peptides are the result of the enzyme pepsin ’s breaking down the proteins in the stomach). This enables the uptake of protein in the food because

Enzymes are protein‚ they are used to catalyse metabolisms in all organisms. They break down complex molecules and build up complex molecules from simple molecules‚ these two processes are catabolic reaction and anabolic reaction respectively. Enzymes are needed in these two processes to catalyse releasing and taking up ATP molecules. Different sequence of amino acid produces different structure of protein‚ which determines the property of protein‚ thus each kind of enzymes has its unique active

Pancreatitis Acute pancreatitis refers to the inflammation of the pancreas‚ an organ that lies in the back of the mid-abdomen. The function of the pancreas is to produce digestive juices and certain hormones‚ including insulin. Although the etiology and pathogenesis is unknown‚ the disease has been intensively investigated for centuries. Acute pancreatitis is usually a mild disease that does not lead to complications and requires only minor medical care. However a small population‚ about 20 percent

Chapter I Introduction: The number of pests in our homes and environment are increasing. Nowadays‚ people preferred buying chemical products to kill the harmful pest on our surroundings. These chemical products pollute our environment and it is really dangerous to our health. Because of these problems‚ researchers had found and discovered new and organic alternative pesticides. The researchers want to find much cheaper and environmentally friendly pesticide. But here the pesticide will not be

DIGESTIVE ENZYMES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS Mouth -the oral cavity or the mouth contains salivary glands that secrete a wide range of enzymes to aid the first step of metabolism of food. The salivary gland secretes the enzyme lysozyme which has an antibacterial action. The enzymes secreted by the mouth mainly provide protection against bacteria. Betaine helps to maintain a fluid balance inside the mouth. The lists of digestive enzymes secreted by the oral cavity are mentioned in the table. Enzymes
