Can saliva break down any substances other than starch?
No, because amylase, like all other enzymes, has a very specific structure. Only one substrate has a shape that is complementary to amylase, which is starch. Any other molecules will be unable to bind to the active site, and so reactions with other substances won't happen.
Are low cholesterol levels and high cholesterol levels as bad as each other?
It is easier to raise your cholesterol if its too low rather than lower it. So based on that I would say that higher cholesterol is worse than too low.
Optimum pH level for enzymes?
It depends of the enzyme. For instance. Amylase in the mouth has a higher pH than say pepsin in the stomach.
Can we say that enzymes work in optimum conditions only if yes than why?
No, we cannot say that because most enzymes are not at optimal conditions in nature.
Why does frozen liver react with hydrogen peroxide more than raw liver?
the frozen liver reaction should have been slower than the liver at room temperature, as this is the optimal condition for the enzyme catalase. The reaction would occur at a slower rate when an enzyme is below its optimal condition so generally when an enzyme is in cold conditions it will function slower.

What sould triglycerides levels be?
Optimal is about 150. They should be treated in order to prevent pancreatitis, regardless of the cardiac risk, if they are above 500. Other than that whether to treat elevated triglycerides depends on the rest of the lipid panel and other risk factors for heart disease.
What temperature does amylase work best at?
Amylase works best at body temperature, which is around 37 degrees Celsius. This is because if the temperatre is too low, the amylase will collide slow as the kinetic energy will be low. It reacts fastest and best in this temperatue as lota of kinetic energy is given to the molecules and the particles therefore collide faster. Although, when the temperature is too high, the enzymes (amylase) gets denatured which means that they loose their shape. This way they do not react.
Are starches with a relatively large amount of amylose digested more quickly than those with amylopectin?
Enzymes are often substrate-specific, meaning they will only catalyze a reaction with a certain molecule. The difference in structure between amylose and amylopectin causes amylase to catalyze one and not the other.
What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
starch can be broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme amylase
Why optimal solution is only at corner point?
feasible region gives a solution but not necessarily optimal . All the values more/better than optimal will lie beyond the feasible .So, there is a good chance that the optimal value will be on a corner point
What is the opitmal pH for salivary amylase?
identify two pH values at which salivary amylase activity stop?
Why the activity of the enzyme amylase changes as the temperature changes?
the time is related to enzymatic activity of amylase because as the sol'n or substance has been added to the iodine sol'n, the soln' will change color and its time gives you an idea w/c of the sol'n react faster than the other. the time is related to enzymatic activity of amylase because as the sol'n or substance has been added to the iodine sol'n, the soln' will change color and its time gives you an idea w/c of the sol'n react faster than the other. the time is related to enzymatic activity of amylase because as the sol'n or substance has been added to the iodine sol'n, the soln' will change color and its time gives you an idea w/c of the sol'n react faster than the other.
What else can give you raised levels of alcohol in your blood other than alcohol?
Nothing.
Are there any hormones other than insulin that reduce blood glucose levels?
glucagon
