Identify the type of monomer of which the enzyme is composed of?

Back

) The enzyme bromelain is composed of amino acid monomers.

Front

Bromelain works by breaking the enzymes that cause browning into smaller molecules. Explain how the reaction that breaks up the enzymes occurs.

Back

The reaction that breaks up the enzymes occurs through hydrolysis. Bromelain is a protease, which means it breaks down proteins (like browning enzymes) by cleaving the peptide bonds between amino acids. This process involves the addition of a water molecule, which helps break the chemical bonds in the enzyme's structure, resulting in smaller peptide fragments or individual amino acids.

Segment 1 would become denatured at a lower temperature than would segment 2 because A-T base pairs have two hydrogen bonds whereas G-C base pairs have three.
