What enzyme converts maltose to glucose?
Maltase
What enzyme converts starch to glucose in the mouth of humans?
salivary amylase
Which is the enzyme which catalyses the reaction of glucose to gluconic acid?
Glucose oxidase that converts the carbonyl (aldehyde) carbon of glucose to a carboxylic acid.
How does the body absorb lactose?
Lactose is digested in the small intestine by an enzyme called lactase. Lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. These simple sugars are then used by the body for energy.
What two monosaccharides are formed when the lactase enzyme hydrolyzes lactose?
glucose and galactose http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/C/Carbohydrates.html
What enzyme converts the glucose into bigger molecules?
Starch is an enzyme that converts the glucose into bigger molecules. Starch is proteins and fat.
Which enzyme catabolyzes lactose sugar into monosacharides?
lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and glucose monomers.
What enzyme converts maltose to glucose?
Maltase
What is The enzyme which converts glucose into ethyl alcohol is?
Invertase
What enzyme converts starch to glucose in the mouth of humans?
salivary amylase
What enzyme is person who is lactose intolerant missing?
Lactose intolerance is the inability to efficiently convert lactose into glucose and galactose, a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme lactase. (A rule of thumb for enzyme nomenclature is that many enzyme names typically take most of the name of their substrate and slap an "-ase" at the end.)
Genes that are turned on or off by the presence of lactose?
lacZ codes for the enzyme beta-galactosidase, which splits lactose into glucose plus galactose. lacY codes for a "permease" protein that allows lactose to enter the cell, and lacA codes for an enzyme that acetylates lactose.
What enzyme converts glucose to ethanol during fermentation?
Zymase, found in yeast
Which is the enzyme which catalyses the reaction of glucose to gluconic acid?
Glucose oxidase that converts the carbonyl (aldehyde) carbon of glucose to a carboxylic acid.
How does the body absorb lactose?
Lactose is digested in the small intestine by an enzyme called lactase. Lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. These simple sugars are then used by the body for energy.
Why can lactase break down lactose?
Lactase is an enzyme, it wraps around the lactose (the part that wraps around the lactose is known as the active site) substrate and cuts it up into smaller pieces galactose and glucose
How is lactose catabolized via the glycolytic pathway?
Lactose is metabolized by the enzyme beta-galactosidase giving one molecule of galactose and one molecule of glucose.
