Language of Anatomy & Enzymes Flashcards
(35 cards)
Lysis
refers to loosening or breaking down
Catabolic Reaction
- BREAK DOWN larger molecules into smaller ones
- exergonic (release energy), decomposition
3 factors that influence enzyme activity
temperature, pH, concentration
Anabolic Reaction
- BUILD larger substances
- endergonic (require energy input), synthesis
Amylase
- found in saliva
- hydrolyzes (breaks down) polysaccharides into disaccharides
Optimal bodily conditions for amylase
Temp: 25°C
pH: 7
Amyloglucidase
- found in pancreatic juice
- hydrolyzes disaccharides into monosaccharides
Optimal bodily conditions for amyloglucosidase
Temp: 37°C
pH: 8.5
