What are food enzymes?

Biology
2 answers:
Llana [10]3 years ago
8 0

there aren't many enzymes in food, mainly in fruits, the enzymes in friuts are very similar to ptylin found in the mouth that help break down sugar, they do not need to be ingested before they activate, a proof of this is the apple test, buy an apple, take a bite and leave it without covering it for a few minutes, you'll notice that the bitten part starts turning yellowish brown because the enzymes in the apple are already breaking it down.  

In summary, they do not need to be ingested before activation, and the major characteristic of an enzyme is that they do not change after they react with (breakdown) food, so they are in the same form before and after they finish breaking down the food.

The genes for either type A or Type B will be determined by the egg/sperm being fertilized with the reproductive cell of the other parent. the probability of receiving either of the gene versions is 1/2, so half of the children will have A blood and the other half will have B blood

I would answer your question but i think you wanted to add options. next time you can just screen shot and actually i think you still can by pressing the edit button. And there are several types of wedges you could be talking about mechanical, frost, salt, etc.

You need to be a bit more specific. but i would be more than happy to answer your question. :)
