It aids "digestion of starch".
New cards
3
What is the role of Cellulase?
It aids "digestion of cellulose".
New cards
4
What is the role of Protease?
It aids "digestion proteins".
New cards
5
What are the factors affecting enzyme reaction?
Factors affecting are "pH - Temperature - Enzyme and Substrate concentration".
New cards
6
What is the effect of pH on enzyme activity?
As pH moves away from the pH scale the "rate of reaction decreases". A change in pH causes the shape of active site to change.
New cards
7
What is the effect of temperature on enzyme activity?
It works "best at higher temperature" but at a "temperature above optimum temperature the enzyme denatures".
New cards
8
What is the effect of enzyme and substrate concentration on enzyme activity?
As the "substrate concentration increases the rate of reaction increases" to an initial point to make reaction constant + "Increase in enzyme concentration increases rate of enzyme reaction".
