the small intestine. Pancreatic amylase, which is from the pancreas, enters the small intestine to digest the carbohydrates also, but the small intestine itself has many specific enzymes, including maltase, sucrase, and lactase. There is also an amylase from the saliva, which works in the mouth, but once the food (or bolus, now) enters the stomach, the salivary amylase stops working.

Which of the enzymes does not digest simple sugars?
glucose and galactose are absorbed into the enterocyte by
What does the mouth digest?
The enzymes in the saliva in the human mouth starts digestion on starches, turning them into sugars.
Enzymes produced by the small intestine?
The small intestine produces and secretes many enzymes, as it is here where digestion mainly occurs. These enzymes include:lipase to break down fat molecules into glycerol and fatty acidsCarbohydrase - digest carbohydrates into simpler sugars. There are different carbohydrates, including, maltose, sucrose and starch; each one has a separate enzyme to break it down.proteases digest proteins into amino acids.The enzymes mentioned above are actually produced by the pancreas.
Chemical digestion is possible because of certain kinds of proteins called what?
The answer would be "Enzymes".The key digesting enzymes include lipases (for lipids), proteases (for proteins). Other enzymes important is amylases, which digest certain types of sugars.
What is mean by cyclodextrin?
It is a material that contains sugars produced from starch. Used in foods, it can remove fat/ cholesterol from foods, and is used as a dietary supplement.
Do asparagus have sugar in them?
NO!! but it does have natural sugars.Cellulose in the stem and leaf structures is a sugar that brocolli contains. This doesn't have much effect on the human dietary as we lack the enzymes required to digest cellulose.
Do Sugars contain enzymes?
NO
Why are humans not able to use cellulose for energy?
Humans don't have the enzymes required to digest it. Cellulose is made up of sugars, but they are intertwined in a more complicated way than starch.
What organ produces enzymes that break down fats proteins and carbohydrates?
The gallbladder, which is an accessory organ of the small intestines, makes bile which is secreted into the small intestine and emulsifies (breaks down) fats.
Are enzymes fat?
No, most enzymes are proteins, some of which are "decorated" with sugars. A few enzymes are composed of RNA.

What substances is an example of a carbohydrate enzymes sugars waxes or protein?
