Lactose is a disaccharide made of a glucose and a galactose bonded together. Lactose is found in milk yet does not taste sweet because our taste receptors do not sense lactose. Our taste receptors do sense galactose and glucose. How can a mug of warm milk taste sweet, without adding sugar? [Select the best answer.] The activation energy required for the hydrolysis of lactose into glucose and galactose is supplied by heating the milk. The milk proteins are denatured by the heat. The reaction is endergonic so the heat is the energy required for the reaction to occur. The lactose has less free energy than the glucose and galactose.

Invertase works on a _________ molecule, specfically ___________ and it does a _________ reaction since it uses water to create a aldose ________ and a ketose _______ . The Beano type we used did not contain invertase, but only alpha-galactosidase; therefore it would only produce the monomer aldose _________ . Contrary, Beano on the go would produce all three major 6 carbon _______ monomers.

Use drawings to explain how an enzyme (such as hexokinase, mentioned in the text) can distinguish its normal substrate (here d-glucose) from the optical isomer l-glucose, which is not a substrate. (hint: remembering that a carbon atom forms four single bonds that are tetrahedrally arranged and that the optical isomers are mirror images of each other around such a bond, draw the substrate as a simple tetrahedron with four different corners and then draw its mirror image. using this drawing, indicate why only one optical isomer might bind to a schematic active site of an enzyme.)
Cellulase is an enzyme that breaks down cellulose in the digestive system of some insects such as termites, making glucose available. A team of scientists linked to innovation and development of a multinational company are studying the application to wood of a new product whose active component is extracted from fermented tea leaves, corresponding to a polyphenol that is very stable at changes in pH and temperature. A cellulase enzyme studied in a laboratory acts on the substrate (cellulose) releasing product (glucose). If the substance under study (polyphenol obtained from fermented tea leaves) is added to the medium, the enzyme activity (speed) decreases close to zero, not recovering with increasing substrate concentrations. However, if the test substance is removed from the reaction mixture (by dialysis filtration), the enzyme activity is restored. a) Give a reasoned explanation of the facts (what type of inhibition exerts the polyphenol) b) How this same situation would be observed…
