This flashcard differentiates intracellular (e.g., catalase) and extracellular enzymes (e.g., amylase, trypsin), noting that extracellular enzymes are secreted for efficient external digestion.
This flashcard differentiates between intracellular and extracellular enzymes, providing examples such as catalase (intracellular) and amylase/trypsin (extracellular), and explaining the function of extracellular enzymes in digestion.
| Front | intracellular vs extracellular enzymes |
|---|---|
| Back | intra; - catalase (H2O2 → H2O + O2) extra; - amylase (starch → maltose) - trypsin (proteins → AA) - needed to be secreted to encounter food molecules and make digestion efficient |
