What is the Carbohydrate Digestion Polymer in the Oral Cavity?
Salivary Amylase.
What does amylase break starch molecules into?
Amylase digests starch into a smaller carbohydrate called maltose.
What is the enzyme that digests starch?
The enzyme that digests starts is known as amylase. Carbohydrate enzymes are also known for the breakdown of starts into sugar.
What group do polysaccharide molecules belong to?
carbohydrate
Is a protein a carbohydrate?
not at all protiens are totally different from carbohydrates an enzyme called amylase which breaks carbohydrates is a protien
Why amylase begins the digestion of fat?
No, amylase hydrolyzes amylose, a carbohydrate.
What enzyme is present in the mouth and the pancreas?
amylase breaks down carbohydrate
What are the reactants and products of carbohydrate breakdown?
During carbohydrate breakdown, the reactants are salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase, maltase, sucrase and lactase. The products are maltose, glucose, fructose and fiber.
What is the Carbohydrate Digestion Polymer in the Oral Cavity?
Salivary Amylase.
What substrate does amylase have an affinity for?
Amylase breaks starch (a polysaccharide - complex carbohydrate) down into maltose (a disaccharide - simpler sugar).
What is the enzyme produced in mouth?
Salivary amylase is produced in the mouth so that it can digest carbohydrate
What is the enzyme produced by the salivary glands that initiates carbohydrate digestion in the mouth?
The Oral Cavity has limited digestion of carbohydrates and lipids (amylase and lipase).
What does amylase break starch molecules into?
Amylase digests starch into a smaller carbohydrate called maltose.
Is amylase a carbohydrate lipid protein or nucleic acid?
Insulin is a protein.
What digestive secretion of the mouth hydrolyzes carbohydrate?
Salivary amylase breaks down carbs in the mouth.
What is the enzyme that digests starch?
The enzyme that digests starts is known as amylase. Carbohydrate enzymes are also known for the breakdown of starts into sugar.
Does amylase use cellulose as a substrate?
No, amylase does not use cellulose as a substrate. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into simple sugars like maltose and glucose. Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate that requires other enzymes, like cellulase, for its breakdown.
