Name the substrates that will be broken up by the
following enzymes
a) trypsin
b) amylase
c) pepsin
d) lipase
Answers
Answer:
a) Trypsin - Proteins. Trypsin is secreted by pancreas and it primarily acts on the “interior bonds of proteins”.
b) Amylase - Carbohydrate and starch. It is secreted by the "pancreas", and in mouth by the "salivary glands" and throat. Amylase acts upon starch and carbohydrates and then breaks them in down to simple sugars.
c) Pepsin - Proteins. Pepsin is an endopeptidase secreted by the stomach. It acts on a large proteins and then breaks them down to small peptides.
d) Lipase - Fats. The pancreas are produced from the Lipase and it helps break down the fats to "glycerol and fatty acids".
Explanation:
ANSRWE
a. It is present in the pancreatic juices. Breaks protein into peptides.
b. It is a starch digesting enzyme which breaks starch into maltose. Salivary amylase hydrolyses starch into dextrous, maltotriose and finally into maltose.
c. Pepsin is the active form of pepsinogen. It hydrolyses proteins into peptides and proteases.
d.It bteaks into emulsified fats.
