What is the opitmal pH for salivary amylase?
identify two pH values at which salivary amylase activity stop?
What is produces amylase?
Both the salivary glands in the head and the pancreas in the abdomen. The salivary glands produce salivary amylase that is released into te mouth where it acts on the carbohydrate. The pancreases produces pancreatic amylase which is released into the duodenum of the small intestine.
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 is the Site of production of Pancreatic amylase?
The salivary amylase works mostly in the mouth and in the esophagus. Once it reaches the stomach, the high pH denatures the salivary amylase and cannot be used. However, once the food reaches the duodenum the pancreas releases pancreatic amylase to continually digest carbohydrates.
Does saliva have amylase in it?
Saliva contains amylase, it begins the breakdown of starch into sugars
What is the effect of mercury chloride on salivary amylase activity?
It will denature salivary amylase
At what pH did you see the highest activity of salivary amylase?
pH of about 7
What is the opitmal pH for salivary amylase?
identify two pH values at which salivary amylase activity stop?
What is the secretion of salivary glands?
salivary amylase
Where is pancreatic amylase made?
It depends on the amylase. Salivary amylase is produced in the salivary glands, while pancreatic amylase is produced in the pancreas, etc.
What organ produces salivary amylase?
The small intestine and the salivary glands are the organs of the digestive system that produces the enzyme amylase.
Why does the enzyme salivary amylase will act on starch but not on protein?
Because the enzyme salivary amylase lacks protein.
Where is the salivary amylase located in the body?
Salivary Amylase is located in the mouth in the mouth and in the esophagus.
The enzyme salivary amylase will act on starch but not on protein This action illustrates that salivary amylase?
4) lack protein
What is the composition of salivary amylase?
Amylase is a enzyme.And composed of proteins
What effects do increased temperature have on the activity of salivary amylase?
Increase the temperature too much and this protein will denature and stop working.
What enzyme is produced by the pancreas and the salivary glands?
Amylase is the enzyme made in the salivary glands and the pancreas. Its function is to break down complex carbohydrates, sometimes called starches.. In the mouth they are called salivary amylase and in the small intestine they are called pancreatic amylase. This enzyme is also known as ptyalin.
