What enzyme converts starch to glucose in the mouth of humans?
salivary amylase
Salivary amylase breaks down starches?
breakdown of amylase and amylopectin into disaccharides and trisaccharides
What is the name given to the starch digesting enzyme secreted by the salivary glands?
Amylase
What type of digestion is done by salivary glands?
salivary glands donot digest salivary amylase converts starch to glucose
What enzyme is used to digest starch?
Digestion of starch and other carbohydrates begins in the mouth with an enzyme called salivary amylase.
Is salivary amylase able to digest cellulose?
Salivary amylase is not able to digest cellulose. Amylase has the ability to digest starch but cellulose is a fibre which in indigestible.
Which glands help digest starch?
Glands aren't responsible directly for the breaking down of starch. The enzyme that is responsible for the digestion of starch is amylase. This enzyme is produced by the salivary glands in our mouth - salivary amylase. It's also made by the pancreas - pancreatic amylase.
What is the enzyme produced in mouth?
Salivary amylase is produced in the mouth so that it can digest carbohydrate
Which enyzme is produced in the mouth and what is it's role in digestion?
the enyzme is called salivary amylase, used to help digest starch
Why does the enzyme salivary amylase will act on starch but not on protein?

What the amylase salivary break down?
Starch
What substrate does salivary amylase act on?
Starch

4) lack protein
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.
How does saliva digest starch?
Amylase
