Baby food manufacturers sometimes use proteases in their products. Proteases function by catalyzing the

breakdown of protein, making digestion easier for babies. What type of molecule are proteases?

O enzymes

O hormones

reactants

substrates

enzymes

Explanation:

Enzymes are organic catalysts which are protein in nature. The enzyme proteases found in baby food aid in break down of peptides into amino acids in the stomach. Extracellular enzymes are engineered outside the cells that produce them e. g., proteases. The proteases break down milk proteins into amino acids that are easily assimilated into the system reducing chances of babies developing allergies to milk. Particular proteases break down specific allergenic proteins that can cause allergic in hypoallergenic food.
