Give types and functions of digestive enzymes. What effect would they have on the body, having too much digestive enzyme production, or too little digestive enzyme production.
Digestive enzymes break down proteins in the digestive track so that every needed protein can be taken and used to maintain the human body. enzymes are classified by their substrates, for example, there is proteases and peptidases that break down peptide chains, or proteins. There's lipases that break down lipids, fats, and turn it into fatty acids, nucleases that break down nucleic acid and carbohydrases that break down carbohydrates.
Digestion begins in the mouth where enzymes start to break down carbohydrates. from there the food travels down the intestinal track for further digestion. if ever there was a problem with too little enzyme production then the proteins in the food wouldn't be processed and as a result malnutrition begins to occur. usually if there isn't enough or too much enzyme there is probably a problem with the pancreas where most of these digestive enzymes are produced. Problems that occur when there is too much digestive enzymes such as heart burn is when bile, a large quantity of enzymes produced in the liver, spill out of the stomach and into the esophagus creating a burning sensation.
Digestive enzymes are proteins which are used to break down food into nutrients, then digested. The human body has 22 different types of digestive enzymes. Each of them reacts with different type of food.Enzymes are found in meat, fruits, vegetables, and other types of foods. Most of them are produced by animals and plants that are sold as supplements. Enzymes are used to cure a variety of sickness such as, indigestion, bloating, and heartburn. Digestive enzymes usually come out in tablets and are taken with water before meal.
Chris Uliana Ions can be single atoms, as the sodium and chloride in common table salt sodium chloride, or more complex groups such as the carbonate in calcium carbonate. But to be considered an ion, they must carry a positive or negative charge. Thus, in an ionic bond, one 'bonder' must have a positive charge and the other a negative one. By sticking to each other, they resolve, or partially resolve, their separate charge imbalances. Positive to positive and negative to negative ionic bonds do not occur. For an easily visible analogy, experiment with a pair of bar magnets covalent compound is a compound in which the atoms that are bonded share electrons rather than transfer electrons from one to the other. While ionic compounds are usually formed when metals bond to nonmetals, covalent compounds are formed when two nonmetals bond to each other.
Digestion enzymes are enzymes that break down food and anything else that goes through your body into smaller blocks. Digestive enzymes are found in the digestive tract of animals or humans where they aid in the digestion of food. Enzymes are also found in your saliva, which are made from your salivary glands. Digestion enzymes are classified by their substrates; proteases and peptidases split proteins into amino acids, lipases split fat into fatty acids, carbohydrases split carbohydrates such as starch into sugars, and nucleases split nucleic acids into nucleotides. The enzymes that get secreted in the stomach are called gastric enzymes. Leaky gut syndrome can be caused by the underproduction of digestive enzymes. Food molecules are not broken down into small enough parts to be normally through the walls of the intestines. This can also cause undigested food to stay in the causing pain, bloating, and gas. Usually if there is not enough or to much enzymes there is probably a problem with the pancreas where most of these digestive enzymes are produced.
