Which enzyme will break down starch into smaller monosaccharide molecules?
Alpha amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch into it's individual glucose monosaccharide molecules.
How does amylase break down starch into glucose?
In the mouth.
What does amylase break down?
Amylase breaks down starch molecules into sugar. It is produced in the salivary glands, the pancreas and the small intestine.
What disaccharide does the digestive enzyme amylase break down starch to?
Amylase helps the break down of starch into sugars (disaccharides). Amylase itself is not broken down. It is an enzyme and it doesn't enter into the reaction in any way. The disaccharide that is formed is sucrose, maltose or lactose.
The enzyme amylase can break glycosidic linkages between glucose monomers only if the monomers are the α form Which of the following could amylase break down?
can break down glycogen and starch (ex: amylopectin or amylose). But not cellulose which is made from beta form glucose. Amylase, present in saliva, breaks down starch into maltose and simple sugars. The maltose is then broken down in the small intestine by maltase into glucose.
What enzymes help break down starch into glucose?
amylase

How many molecules of ATP are needed to break the bonds of a glucose molecule into pyruvate molecule?
b1-b2b-x2
What make and releases a chemical that breaks down starchy foods?
That chemical reaction is called as 'Hydrolysis'. So one water molecule is added to break one bond between the two glucose molecule. The one molecule of carbohydrate may contain thousands of glucose molecules. That will need thousands of water molecules to get thousands of glucose molecules. You have the enzyme called as amylase to break the bond. You need alkaline pH for action of this enzyme. This enzyme is secreted by your pancreas.

Will amylase break down glycogen into glucose?
Yes, amylase can break down glycogen.
What food group does amylase break down?
Amylase breaks down carbohydrates. Amylase is a digestive enzyme that is needed in order for carbohydrates to be digested properly.
How many ATPs are needed to break down 5 glucose molecules?
10 in anaerobic condition while 5*36 in aerobic condition .
What does amylase break starch molecules into?
Amylase digests starch into a smaller carbohydrate called maltose.
