8. Amylase has all of the following properties except: 1. It breaks down starches into sugars. 2. It cleaves proteins into amino acids. 3. It is a component of human saliva. 4. High serum levels may indicate pancreatic inflammation.

Glyoxylate cycle allows the conversion of __ to __ in __  A. Glucose ;lipids ;plants  B. Lipids; glucose ;plants c. Glucose ;lipids ; plants  D. lipids; glucose ;animals

9) The diagram below represents events involved as energy is ultimately released from food. Food molecule within digestive system xxx X-XX cool wat Food molecule outside of body x-xx XX-X A) 1 B) 2 The enzyme amylase will affect the breakdown of carbohydrates, but it will not affect the break- down of proteins. The ability of an enzyme molecule to interact with specific molecules is most directly determined by the (1) shapes of the molecules involved (2) number of molecules involved (3) sequence of bases present in ATP (4) amount of glucose present in the cell 6 A^XXXX X Which row in the table below best represents the chain of Xs and letters A and Bin the diagram? X-X-X-X-X-X-X A and B (1) nutrient antibodies (2) nutrient enzymes (3) hemoglobin wastes (4) hemoglobin hormones C) 3 In the human body, oxygen is absorbed by the lungs and nutrients are absorbed by the small intestine. In a single-celled organism, this absorption directly involves the (1) nucleus (2) chloroplasts Portion of…

4. Molecules of what substance are given off when glycerol and fatty acids are joined?5. The splitting of a triglyceride (fat) into glycerol and fatty acids involves the addition of the same molecule you removed during dehydration synthesis. This process is called:

Imagine you denatured all the enzymes required to break down carbohydrates in your meal. What would be the result? 1. The process of breaking down proteins would be greatly affected. 2. Your carbohydrates would also be denatured. 3. The enzymes that breakdown other organic molecules will aid in breakdown of carbs. 4. The process of breaking down carbohydrates would be a lot slower or non-existent

1. What kind of quality assessment is performed on amylase and why is this important? 2. What are the advantages and disadvantages to using amylase?

1. Insulin.....a. Carries glucose into the muscle cellb. signals the muscle cell to take up glucose c. signals the synthesis of glucose in the liver d. carries lactate from the muscle to the liver 2.In the fasting, state, the Liver helps maintain a normal level of blood glucose by: a. Making ketones and storing them for later.b. stopping glycolysis and using alternative fuels for energyc. speeding up glycolysis because it needs energy to make glucose d. Beginning glycogenesis to build up glucose storage

7. During amino acid catabolism, how is amino group removed and excreted in the form of urea? Please write the reactions starting from a generic amino acid to the formation of urea. Please indicate the names of enzymes, cofactors, names of substrates, and products of each reaction and the location of the reaction i.e. whether in cytoplasm or mitochondria.

Amylase is an enzyme found in saliva that is capable of breaking down starch into glucose molecules for metabolism. Humans have amylase in their saliva, and it is considered one of the first metabolic processes we carry out in digestion. When we consume some starchy foods, they often begin to taste sweet with chewing as the glucose sugars begin to be released by the amylase reaction with starch. In the following image, we tested a students saliva for the presence of amylase.   Step 1: A starch solution was added to each of the three test tubes. Step 2: From left to right in the picture
