Question

What are some benefits of enzyme production in the process of digestion.

Answer 1

Answer:

definition;

enzymes are protein that catalyze speed up the biochemical reactions and are not changed during the reaction . the molecules at which enzyme work  are called substrate and enzymes convert them into  different molecules called products.

benefits of enzyme in digestion ;

enzyme lower the activation energy in several ways. they may alter the shape of substrate and reduce the requirement of activation energy . enzyme may also  lower activation energy by bringing substrate in correct orientation to react . enzyme break down carbohydrates, lipids and  proteins  which are component of human food .In digestion larger molecules are broken into smaller molecules like amino acids ,simple sugars ,fatty acid ,vitamins ,salts and water to provide to cells.  these molecules are  a part of larger molecules like protein ,polysaccharids  and lipids . enzymes like amylaze, lypase   ,salivary amylase, pepsin ; it is a very strong protein digesting enzyme it is released in its inactive form pepsinogen  which is converted into pepsin with the help of H-C-L  hydrochloric acid it takes part in digestion in stomach
