A digestive enzyme such as pancreatic amylase breaks down starch to what disaccharide studied in this laboratory?

Amylase hydrolyses starch into maltose.


What substrate does amylase have an affinity for?

Amylase breaks starch (a polysaccharide - complex carbohydrate) down into maltose (a disaccharide - simpler sugar).


What disaccharide does the digestive enzyme amylase break down starch to?

Amylase helps the break down of starch into sugars (disaccharides). Amylase itself is not broken down. It is an enzyme and it doesn't enter into the reaction in any way. The disaccharide that is formed is sucrose, maltose or lactose.


What kind of enzyme breaks down carbohydrates?

Starch is the polysaccharide which is broken down into glucose by the body in a series of stages. Amylase digests starch into maltose (a disaccharide). Maltase is the enzyme which breaks maltose into glucose.


What does amylase break down?

Amylase breaks down starch molecules into sugar. It is produced in the salivary glands, the pancreas and the small intestine.


What is the name of the enzyme produced in the salivary glands?

Salivary amylase, which breaks down cooked starch into maltose


Which digestive enzyme is produced by salivary glands and what does it do?

Amylase is produced in the salivary glands and it hydrolyses (breaks down with the addition of water) starch into maltose.


What is the product of amylase?

There are three different types of amylase. They all break down starches into sugars. Alpha-amylase is the most common and produces maltotriose and maltose, or maltose, glucose, and limit dextrin.


When amylase breaks down starch what does it release?

amylase breaks starch down and releases maltose from which maltase breaks it up into two glucose molecules


What is end product of amylase in digestion?

Amylase breaks down starch, and therefore the product of digestion is maltose.


What is salivary?

You might be referring to salivary amylase. Maltase is an enzyme produced by duodenum that breaks down the sugar maltose into glucose. Salivary amylase is an enzyme located in your saliva (there is also pancreatic amylase found in the pancreas). This enzyme breaks down carbohydrates (more specifically starch) which then can be absorbed in the small intestine.


What is the subtrate and subunit product of amylase?

The Substrate for amylase are starch (amylose and Amylopectin), glycogen, and various Oligosaccharides and the subunit is maltose.
