3. Explain why pancreatic lipase would be active in both the mouth and the pancreas. Your answer: The pancreatic lipase enzymehas the highest enzymatic activity in environment around pH 7. The oral cavity has pH around 7 and the small intestine around 8 so the enzyme would work in both pla...
How do enzyme molecules react with reactants to produce substrates? How does a spectrophotometer measure enzyme activity? Which enzymes are secreted only by the pancreas? How do enzymes regulate the rate of chemical reactions? What enzyme can help to catabolize and metabolize lactose? Why is it ...
There are few long-term studies on the effect of cassava ingestion on the pancreas in animal models. This article reports on the long-term (up to 1 yr) effects of cassava in the rat model. We found that cassava did not produce diabetes in the rat even after a year of cassava feeding...
When you eat carbohydrates, they are broken down to sugars and transported in your blood, reports theMayo Clinic. This causes a rise in blood sugar levels, which triggers the release of insulin from your pancreas. Insulin lowers blood sugar and makes carbohydrate available for either immediate e...

What digestive processes take place in the mouth? What is the function of the liver in digestion process? Explain why digestion is imapired if a gallstone blocks the bile duct? What would be the effect of an enlarged pancreas on the ability of the gall bladder to send bile do...
"So, how does the body get calories from the fat?" "Fat is comprised of strings of aptly named fatty acids, which are broken down by an enzyme produced in the pancreas known as lipase." What does the word "aptly" mean in this answer? What are the different methods of cardiovascular ...
