Question

explain the reaction carried out by digestive enzymes in human beings

Answer 1

hi.......

here is ur answer friend :))

===============================

Digestive enzymes all belong to the hydrolase class, and their action is one of splitting up large food molecules into their ‘building block’ components. Another unique propertyis that they are extracellular enzymes that mix with food as it passes through the gut. The majority of other enzymes function within the cytoplasm of the cell.

The chemical digestion of food is dependent on a whole range of hydrolase enzymes produced by the cells lining the gut as well as associated organs such as the pancreas. The end goal is to break large food molecules into very much smaller ‘building block’ units. These can then be readily and rapidly absorbed through the gut wall and into the bloodstream for transport to the liver and from there to other parts of the body.

The main enzyme-producing structures of the human digestive system are the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, liver and small intestine.

Answer 2

Enzyme. Acts on. Reactant

Ptyalin. Carbohydrates. Maltose
Pepsin. Proteins. Peptone
Bile juice. Fats. Globules
Amylase. Carbohydrates. Maltose
Trypsin. Proteins. Peptones
Lipase. Fats. Glycerol
Peptidases. Peptides. Amino acids
Sucrase. Sucrose. Glucose

This r d reactions takes place during digestion indifferent parts if alimentary canal like buccal cavity, duodenum,small intestine.
