A person starts to eat a hamburger. As she takes a bite and chews, an enzyme called salivary lipase helps to begin the process of fat digestion. Which of these is the BEST description of the role of enzymes in digestion?

Role of enzymes in the human body

Explanation:

The chemical reactions that keep us alive - our metabolism - rely on the work that digestive enzymes do. They help to accelerate (catalyze) chemical reactions in the human body.

In some cases, they can cause a chemical reaction millions of times faster than they would without them.

Important functions of enzymes:

Digestive enzymes help the body break down larger complex molecules into smaller ones such as glucose, so it uses them as fuel.

Every cell in our body contains DNA. Each time the cell divides, this DNA must be copied. The process is called DNA replication . Enzymes help in this process by developing the DNA helix and copying the information.

Liver enzymes break down toxins in the body.

Enzymes are especially needed for respiration, digestion, muscle and nerve function, among other important roles.

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.

label a cell membrane

label b cytoplasm

label c ribosomes

label d dna

the membrane forms the outside of the cell

cytoplasm is the liquid within

ribosomes are the components within that distribute rna

the dna is the genetic make-up
