which two factors can alter the shape of an enzyme?
temperature and pH
1 of 10
where is amylase produced?
salivary glands, pancreas and the small intestine.
2 of 10
what are the products of lipid (fat) digestion?
fatty acids and glycerol.
3 of 10
which acid is produced by the stomach ?
hydrochloric acid.
4 of 10
what is the function of bile?
Bile neutralises the stomach acid when food passes into the small intestine.
5 of 10
why are proteases used in baby foods?
the protease pre-digests the protein to make it easier for the baby to absorb.
6 of 10
give two types of reaction controlled by enzymes in the cells.
two of: builds large molecules from small molecules, changes one molecule into another, breaks down large molecules into small molecules.
7 of 10
why does increasing the temperature increase the rate of a reaction?
the molecules have more energy so they move around faster and collide more often and more vigorously so there are more frequent collisions in a given time.
8 of 10
give one advantage and one disadvantage of using enzymes in industry.
Advantage: less energy or expensive equipment is needed because the reactions can take place at normal temperature and pressure. Disadvantage: costly to produce and can denature at high temperatures.
9 of 10
why do biological washing powders work more efficiently than non-biological powders?
the enzymes speed up the digestion of stains from food, blood, and grass, plus lower temperatures can be used in washing machines.
