How enzymes are used to make food?

Answer 1

Enzymes do not make food. Enzymes are enablers. They are protein structures that catalyze chemical reactions, making them happen much more quickly. This makes certain processes feasible, like digestion. If you tried to digest food without enzymes, it would take an unbelievably long time. They are used to make food by speeding up the processes involved.

Answer 2

They are biological catalysts and speed up reactions. They are used in washing powder and in some baby foods. They are also found in the body and help to break down some of the food groups: protease- breaks up protein molecules, turns them into amino acids. carbohydrase-breaks up carbohydrate molocules, turns them into sugar (glucose). lipase-breaks up fats, turns them into glycerol.

Answer 3

Enzymes are biological proteins that are used to catalyze chemical reactions on organic molecules. The substrates (reactant molecules) bind to the enzyme, and the energy to combine it with another molecule or break it down is reduced in the process, inducing the chemical change to another product. All enzymes have an active site, which is a certain portion of the enzyme molecule that only allows for binding of certain substrates, based on molecular recognition.

Answer 4

the enzyme protease is used in most washing powders. so that they can break down most of the protein stians in our clothes.

Answer 5

Enzymes are proteins which act as biological catalysts

Answer 6

Enzymes catalyse many biological reactions in the body to enable speed and efficiency of biological processes.

Answer 7

They are a special class of proteins that are used as catalysts

Answer 8

They make work easier and speed up the chemical reactions.
