enzymes definition
large proteins that catalyse reactions
denatured
shape of active site changed so no longer fits substrate
what can cause an enzyme to denature
pH
temperature
optimum
temp or pH where reaction works as fast as possible
3 digestive enzymes
amylase
lipase
protease
where is amylase produced
salivary glands
pancreas
small intestine
where is protease produced
stomach
pancreas
small intestine
where is lipase produced
pancreas
small intestine
catalysed reaction of amylase
starch -> glucose
catalysed reaction for protease
proteins -> amino acids
catalysed reactions for lipase
lipids -> fatty acids + glycerol
