Textbook Question
Chapter 22, Problem 22.22UKC
What class of enzymes catalyzes the majority of the reactions involved in carbohydrate digestion?
Expert Solution & Answer
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To determine which class of enzyme catalyses the majority of the reaction involved in carbohydrate digestion.
Concept Introduction:
Enzyme: This is highly specific both in the reactions that they catalyse and their choice of reactants, which are called substrates, enzymes usually catalyses a single chemical reaction (or) a set of closely related reactions.
Answer to Problem 22.22UKC
Hydrolases enzyme catalyses the majority of the reactions involved in carbohydrate digestion.
Explanation of Solution
Hydrolases enzyme process:
- 1. These enzymes catalyse cleavage reaction or the reverse fragment condensations.
- 2. According to type of bond cleaved, a distinction is made peptidase, esterase, lipases, glycosidase, phosphatase so on.
- 3. The some class of enzyme include cholesterol, alkaline phosphate and glucoamylase.
There are three types of enzymes that are needed in digestion, one for each of main energy sources for your body. Carbohydrates are broken down by the enzyme amylase.
Conclusion
Hydrolases enzyme catalyses the majority of the reaction involved in carbohydrate digestion.
