Does the optimum pH of salivary amylase differ from plant amylase?

Yes. Some plants are found to have amylase as well, such as those plants with high levels of starch, and they are the same types of amylase.

What is the biochemical function of amylase enzyme in plants?
No. Amylase is produced in the body by the salivary glands and the intestines to take part in the digestive process. That answer is incorrect! Amylase is indeed a digestive enzyme for animals, but it is also present in plants. Though mainly found in cereal seeds like wheat, amylase is found throughout the plant kingdom. It is most usually present in germinating seeds, and is used to break the polysaccharide starch in the endosperm/ haustorium into more usable, smaller sugar chains like maltose.

Which enzyme help animals to digest plants?
Cellulase helps in digestion of plant cell wall , Amylase helps in digestion of starch .

How do eukaryotic cells differ from each other?
Eukaryotic cells differ from each other due to their structure and function

What are pancreatic amylase secreted by?
Amylases are widespread in animals, fungi, plants, and are also found in the unicellular eukaryotes, bacteria and archaea. Ptyalin, a salivary α-amylase (α-1,4-α-D-glucan-4-glucanohydrolase) is one of the most important enzymes in saliva. It is known to be mainly involved in the initiation of the digestion of starch in the oral cavity. Fungal sources of α-Amylase are confined to terrestrial isolates, mostly to Aspergillus species and to only few species of Penicillium, P. brunneum being one of them. The fungal source used predominantly for commercial production of α-Amylase are the strains of Aspergillus spp. Aspergillus oryzae, A. niger and A. awamori are most commonly used species for commercial production among several others. α-Amylase can be produced by different species of bacteria, but for commercial applications α-amylase is mainly derived from the genus Bacillus. α-Amylases produced from Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus stearothermophilus, and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens find potential application in a number of industrial processes such as in food, fermentation, textiles and paper industries. Plant sources had not been considered with enough significance as the source of these enzymes yet. More can be found at Creative Enzymes website.
What is the climate of the cotton plant?
Climate required for optimum growth of cotton plant is hot and humid climate.
What does the term 'amylase reaction' mean?
Amylase reactions happen when the enzyme called amylase breaks down starch molecules into sugar molecules. When a seed with a lot of starch sprouts into a plant, for example, it is likely to use amylase to convert the starch, which it cannot use directly, into sugar, which it can use.
What is a cardinal temperature?
It is the minimum, maximum and optimum temperatures of plant growth and development.
What makes plant to grow?
Optimum temperature, light, minerals, CO2 and moisture etc.

They do not, which is because they are plant cells....XD
How is the transport system of a plant differ to a frog?
