Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The role of zymogens in controlling blood pressure needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Zymogens are inactive molecules which are converted into the enzymes where there is requirement by means of a chemical activity which can be brought about by hydrolysis, cleavage or other biochemical activity. Zymogens are responsible for many actions throughout the body from digestion, blood pressure regulation to being responsible for secretion of other enzymes.
(b)
Interpretation:
The role of zymogens in the action of the digestive enzymes needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Zymogens are molecules which are converted into the enzymes when there is a need of such enzyme by means of a chemical activity such as hydrolysis, proteolytic cleavage or other biochemical activity. Zymogens are responsible for many actions throughout the body from digestion, blood pressure regulation, blood coagulation, to being responsible for secretion of other enzymes.
