Chemical Digestion Part A
Enzymes are molecules that.... accelerate a chemical reaction decelerate a chemical reaction stops a chemical reaction starts a chemical reaction What is the name of the mechanism that enzymes use? door knob mechanism hydrolysis mechanism lock-key mechanism match and go mechanism Sort into correct group. Digestive Enzyme Salivary Amylase Pepsin Maltase Digestive Juice Saliva Gastric juice Intestinal Juice Digestive Organ Mouth Stomach Intestine Digestive Gland Salivary Glands Gastric Gland Gall Bladder Complete the sentences below. The chemical digestion involves break down of food into smaller unit through a chemical reaction called hydrolysis. In this reaction, large unit splits into smaller units with the use of water molecule. For example, lactose breaks down into glucose and galactose. The enzyme for this hydrolysis is lactase.When the for has excess glucose in blood and needs to store this glucose, the condensation reaction takes place. This reaction is the opposite of hydrolysis. It combines small units into one large unit and produces water molecule. For example, glucose and glucose combine to form maltose. Fill in blanks. In vitro hydrolysis occurs outside the body while in vivo hydrolysis occurs inside the body.
