starch into glucose
proteins
into amino acids
lipids
into fatty acids

There are many more examples of chemical digestion which takes place in the body. Chemical digestion is the breaking of larger more complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones that can be taken up by the cells more easily and readily by the use of chemical agents.. Chemical digestion is carried out primarily using biological molecules called enzymes. For example, the breakdown of starch is done by an enzyme known as amylase, which is present in the saliva.

Match the pathway with its most highly regulated enzyme.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

A.Glycogenesis: Glycogen synthase

B. Glucogenesis: Fructose 1,6 biphosphate phosphatase

C. Urea cycle  : Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase

D.Fatty acid synthesis:  Acetyl CoA carboxylase

E.Glycolysis : Phosphofructokinase 1

F. Pentose phosphate pathway: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase

Explanation:

A. Glycogen synthase converts glucose into glycogen during glycogenesis.

B. Fructose 1,6 biphosphate phosphatase catalyzes condensation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate during glucogenesis.

C. Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I catalyses production of arbamoyl phosphate during urea cycle.

D. Carboxylase controls fatty acid metabolism.

E. The phosphofructokinase 1 is an important enzyme that regulate  formation of two-phosphate sugar molecules during glycolysis.

F. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase participates in the pentose phosphate pathway. This pathway gives reducing energy to cells.

Directly

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to the temperature. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy.
