At which enzyme concentration is starch hydrolyzed the fastest and slowest?
The enzyme that hydrolyzes starch the fastest is the amylase enzyme. This enzyme breaks down the starch until there is only sugar left.
What is starch used for during germination?
In the endosperm of a seed, there is a storage of starch which provides energy, required during germination. To tap into this energy and make it available to the embryo of the seed, the starch is first hydrolysed by an enzyme (alpha amylase) and converted into maltose (a disaccharide), then in turn, maltose is hydrolysed by the enzyme maltase to form glucose (a monosaccharide). The resulting glucose can then provide energy in the form of ATP and be used for growth by the embryo of the seed. Hope this helps.
What is the name of the enzyme in saliva and what compound is produced when this enzyme acts on starch?
the enzyme ptylin or some amylase and it converts starch to maltose
Why is the reaction of starch with diastase important in a living system?
Diastase hydrolyses starch into maltose which can then be hydrolysed to glucose - the starting point for ATP production in cellular respiration.
What enzyme helps you digest starch?
Amylase digests starch
What enzyme converts the glucose into bigger molecules?
Starch is an enzyme that converts the glucose into bigger molecules. Starch is proteins and fat.
Out of sugar enzyme glucose starch which substance is not a carbohydrate?
glucose starch
What hydrolyse starch?
amylase enzyme
Which would most likely cause the liquid in Tube A to rise?
water passing from a region of lower starch concentration to one of higher starch concentration
What enzyme is used to digest starch?
Digestion of starch and other carbohydrates begins in the mouth with an enzyme called salivary amylase.
What enzyme synthesises starch from glucose -1- phosphate?
this enzyme is called phosphorylase.
What enzyme in your saliva reacts with carbohydrates?
The most important would be the starch breaking enzyme amylase, which catalyzes the decomposition of starch into simpler sugars.
