Chapter 2, Problem 19RQ
Chewing a bite of bread mixes it with saliva and facilitates its chemical breakdown. This is most likely due to the fact that ________.
- the inside of the mouth maintains a very high temperature
- chewing stores potential energy
- chewing facilitates synthesis reactions
- saliva contains enzymes

The catalytic activity of enzymes depends on the presence of appropriate environmental
conditions. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme found in the stomach and facilitates the digestion
of large proteins.
If pepsin is removed from this acidic environment of the stomach and is instead placed in
a more basic environment, it will cease to function. Describe the specific effect that a
change in environmental pH will have on pepsin and explain how this change can lead to
inhibition of its catalytic activity.
Respond in 4 to 6 complete sentences.
Which of the following organic compounds is the richest source of energy? (Only one choice is correct).
Fat
Carbohydrates
Proteins
When lactose is digested into the monosaccharide sugars glucose and galactose (by lactase in the human small intestine), the glucose and galactose molecules are defined as:
the products
the reactants
the substrates
the catalysts
the enzymes

Why is maintaining homeostasis important for enzymes? Group of answer choices: To maintain their normal structure and function To prevent substrate from binding to the enzyme To allow the substrate to bind forever To cause the enzyme to fold differently for each reactionarrow_forwardEnzymes are specific, they match with a specific and particular reactant during the reactions, the enzyme changes shape and cannot be used again true or falsearrow_forward
- Food supplies us with the matter necessary to build living tissue and the energy to do work. There are three main types of macromolecules found in the food we eat; carbohydrates, lipids and protein. Food also contains vitamins and minerals, but we are not concerned about those during this activity. Each of these types of macromolecules vary in structure and function and they also store different amounts of energy.arrow_forwardWhat is the meaning of the term "Calories" written on food packaging? By convention, one Calorie (C), with a capital C, that is used for food is equal to one kilocalorie. On your Activity Sheet, paste a label or cut-out portion from food packaging indicating the number of Calories. (If you have no packaging at home, you may invent and draw your own label.) Convert these Calories into kilocalories and calories.arrow_forwardThe activity of an enzyme is typically expressed as Amount of product formed per minute of reaction timearrow_forward
