What else can I help you with?
What does the pre digestion of protein produce?
Amylases
What are the enzymes in the digestive system?
amylases, proteinases, lipases...
Amylases break down starches into?
its sugars
What molecules digest starch?
Enzymes known as amylases.
A polysaccharide that is made by plants and can be digested by humans is?
Starch! We have amylases to digest them!!
What does salivary amylases break down?
Amylase breaks down complex sugars into simple sugars.
After food enters the small intestine lipases proteases and amylases are secreted into the small intestine by the?
Pancreas
What agents catalyze starch hydrolysis?
Agents that catalyze starch hydrolysis include enzymes known as amylases. These enzymes break down starch into smaller molecules such as maltose, which can then be further broken down into glucose. Amylases are commonly found in saliva (salivary amylase) and in the pancreas (pancreatic amylase).
What are the three types of enzymes and what food do they break down?
Generally speaking, there are three classes of enzyme in our digestive system. They are listed below, alongside the molecules they break down.Lipase - lipidsCarbohydrase - carbohydratesProteases - proteins
What does starch breaks down to?
starch molecule degraded to disaccharides and trisaccharides by amylases and ultimately these will make glucose(which will be used as energy providing nutrient by cells).
What has the author Marguerite Wayman written?
Marguerite Wayman has written: 'Effect of certain antiseptics upon the activity of amylases ..' -- subject(s): Antiseptics, Enzymes
Does amylase have proteins?
Amylase is an enzyme which is chemically proteins. The function is to catalyses the conversion of starch in to sugars. There are different kind of amylases such as alpha-, beta amylase exist.
