What else can I help you with?
Why was sugar found in a experiment were there was starch Silva and water?
Sugar was likely found in the experiment because the starch was broken down into simple sugars through the process of digestion in the saliva. This breakdown of starch into sugars can be catalyzed by enzymes present in saliva, leading to the presence of sugar in the solution.
What happened to the starch solution after you have added saliva?
Saliva contains enzymes that break down starch into simpler sugars like maltose. After adding saliva to a starch solution, the amylase enzyme in saliva breaks down the starch molecules into these simpler sugars, leading to a sweet taste in the solution due to the presence of maltose.
What initial product does hydrolysis of starch produce?
The initial product of hydrolysis of starch is maltose, which is a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules. This process breaks down the starch molecule into smaller sugar units that can be further broken down and metabolized by the body for energy.
What happen to starch if the saliva was boiled before it is mixed with starch?
Boiling saliva before mixing it with starch would denature the enzymes in saliva that break down starch. This would prevent the starch from being properly digested and broken down into simpler sugars.
How does the enzyme break down starch in the digestive process?
The enzyme breaks down starch in the digestive process by breaking the bonds between the glucose molecules in the starch, converting it into simpler sugars that can be easily absorbed by the body.
Are oganic compounds made of sugars or starches?
Sugars and starch are organic compounds. But all organic compounds are not made of sugars and starch.
How does starch affects amylase?
Amylase breaks starch down into sugars.
Does iodine test for sugars?
Yes, the iodine test can be used to test for the presence of starch, not sugars. Iodine reacts with starch to form a blue-black color, indicating its presence. Sugars typically do not react with iodine in this way.
What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
starch can be broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme amylase
What are these glucose polymers called?
Starch
Which is not a carbohydrate between oil sugar and starch?
Oil is a form of fat or lipid. (Simple) sugars are carbohydrates complex sugars or starch is also a catrbohydrate.
What are two main groups of carbohydrate?
The two main groups of carbohydrates are starch and sugars.
Which part of the body contains enzymes that break down starch molecules?
Saliva in the mouth contains the enzyme amylase, which helps break down starch molecules into simpler sugars like maltose.
What does the stomach and intestines digest starch into?
Sugars, (glucose).
What tests show that starch is broken down to sugars?
Amylase enzyme tests can confirm the breakdown of starch to sugars. Benedict's reagent can be used to detect reducing sugars like glucose. Additionally, an iodine test can show the absence of starch by changing color from blue-black to brown.
Does garlic have starch or sugar in it?
I am not sure about the sugars but I have tested Garlic for starch using the iodine test and it shows no sign of containing such. A Benedict's test can be done to determine if it contains sugars.
Why a solution of starch at room temperature does not readily decompose to form a solution of simple sugars?
Starch is a complex carbohydrate made up of long chains of glucose molecules, which needs enzymatic action to break down into simpler sugars. Room temperature alone is not sufficient to break down these complex chains into simple sugars. The process of starch decomposition into simple sugars requires specific enzymes such as amylase, which catalyze the hydrolysis of starch molecules.
