Answer / guest

(1) The action of enzyme is specific, for example that the
enzyme that acts in protein will not act on starch. This
specific nature of enzyme is known to be generally as ?lock
and key? action.
(2) The enzyme acts like a catalytic agent i.e. it promotes
the chemical reaction in the substances without changing itself.
(3) Only a small amount of enzyme is sufficient for a
particular reaction.
Role of different enzymes on different food-stuff
(1)Diastase converts starch into dextrin and maltose/
(2)Meltase is helpful in converting the maltose into glucose.
(3)Cellulase acts in cellulose and converts it into glucose.
(5)Invertase changes sucrose into glucose and fructose.
(6)Pepsin transforms proteins into peptones.
(7)Erepsin converts peptones into aminoacids.
(8)Lipase helps in breaking the fats into fatty acids and
glucose.

The simplest products of food stuff are
absorbed by protoplasm and these products are converted
into similar complex constituent of protoplasm. This process
as a whole is known as Assimilation. The simpler products
of digestions as glucose, amino acids etc. travel to the
growing regions where the prptoplasm is active. During
respiration glucose is broken down, with the release of
energy, while the digested products of proteins are
assimilated by protoplasm into its own parts.

reversibility of enzyme action .
enzyme specificity.

Answer / rajesh

Enzymes are the biocatalyst which speed up the rate of a
reaction without undergoing any conformational changes.They
are very specific in their reaction.Chemically they are
proteinaceous in nature.Based on their action they are
classified into 6 types.
1.oxidoreductases
2.hydrolases
3.lyases
4.ligases
5.Isomeraes
6.Transferases

Answer / mary

1.enzymes are colloidal in nature.
2.catylic in nature.
3.most enzymes are proteins.
4.enzymes are highly specific in their action.
5.Amphoteric nature.
6.Show reversibility.

Answer / deven

1.Catalytic property
2.Specific in action
3.Active in very small quantity
4.Reversible in reaction
5.Sensitive to pH
6.Proteinaceous nature
7.Heat sensitive or Thermolabile.

Answer / tulip

1)high degree of specificity,efficiency
2)protinacious in nature
3)inactive at 0degree c
4)even in minute conc.they can promote chemical reactions

Answer / judith

1. they are colloidal in nature
2. soluble in water and dilute alcohol, but precipitated by
concentrated alcohol.
3. highly selective
4. pH of the medium significantly influence the activity
5. enzymes are colourless,except few which are blue or greenish

Answer / wrongo

These are all wrong you guys suck at bio

Why we are maintaining the autoclave temperature at 121degree centigrade and pressure at 15lbs? Why we are not maintaining the temperature and pressure above or below 121degree centigrade and 15lbs? higher temperature also kills microbes. then why we are not maintaining it above 121degree? what is the reason?
