9. Many health food stores carry enzyme preparations that are intended to be ingested orally (by mouth) to supplement existing enzymes in various organs like the liver, heart, and muscle. Use your knowledge of the digestion process to explain why these preparations are unlikely to be effective as advertised. 10. A young child grows rapidly, with high levels of cell division and high energy requirements. If you were planning the child's diet, which food groups would you emphasize, and why? Which food groups would you deemphasize, and why?

Transcript

00:01 Here we have multiple questions starting with the question 9.

00:05 Enzymes in nature exist in the form of proteins.

00:12 That is all enzymes are chemically proteins.

00:18 These proteins are if we observe they are present in the stomach that is these enzymes are present in the stomach and intestine.

00:31 That is the enzymes present in the stomach and intestine.

00:35 They are able to digest proteins and can act as proteases.

00:44 When orally digestive enzymes are uptake, when orally digestive enzymes are taken in, proteases act on these proteins because enzymes are proteins.

01:03 Idealize them into respective amino acids.

01:08 And as we know, for a enzyme to be functional and show its activity, 3d confirmation of an enzyme is required.

01:20 Three -dimensional confirmation of an enzyme or a protein is mandatory to remain itself as functional.

01:28 But once proteins are digested into amino acids, this three -dimensional confirmation is, damaged.

01:38 Hence these functional enzymes become non -functional and they are no longer effective as enzymes.

01:53 They cannot act as enzymes.

01:57 Hence the answer is enzymes are proteins.

02:02 Proteages they act on oral digestive enzymes, hydrolyze them into amino acids which leads to change in their three dimensional conformation...
