Bananas are mostly carbohydrates and water. Therefore, you need enzymes that break down sugars to digest a banana. The enzymes that break down sugars are Sucrase, Maltase, and Lactase. Sucrase would probably be the primary enzyme, since it breaks down sugars made of glucose and fructose, the primary types found in bananas.

∙ 12y agoBananas are a staple starch for many tropical populations. Depending upon cultivar and ripeness, the flesh can vary in taste from starchy to sweet, and texture from firm to mushy. Both skin and inner part can be eaten raw or cooked. Bananas' flavor is due, amongst other chemicals, to isoamyl acetate which is one of the main constituents of banana oil.
During the ripening process, bananas produce a plant hormone called ethylene, which indirectly affects the flavor. Among other things, ethylene stimulates the formation of amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch into sugar, influencing the taste of bananas. The greener, less ripe bananas contain higher levels of starch and, consequently, have a "starchier" taste. On the other hand, yellow bananas taste sweeter due to higher sugar concentrations. Furthermore, ethylene signals the production of pectinase, an enzyme which breaks down the pectin between the cells of the banana, causing the banana to soften as it ripens.[49][50]

Where are enzymes contained in the human body?
Enzymes are present throughout the body.
Why are bananas consired a fruit?
Bananas are fruits because the seeds are contained within the skin/flesh
If bananas have potassium in them and potassium is a metal can bananas rust?
No... because bananas are organic. The potassium contained within the fruit is at the atomic level.
Bananas rot faster?
I am pretty sure bananas will ripen and/ or rot faster if they are contained in something such as a brown bag.
Do the bananas turn brown in banana split dessert?
Yes, due to much sugar and potassium contained in bananas.
What amino acids are contained in enzymes?
I would imagine that there are so many enzymes that all AAs are used regarding ALL enzymes
If there were 42 bunches and each one contained 9 bananas how many bananas would there be altogether?
42 x 9 = 378 Therefore 378 bananas.
Why don't the enzymes digest the membrane how do enzymes come out of lysosomes?
In eukaryotic cells, everything is compartmentalized - most reactions take place contained within an organelle. This is true for enzymes. The hydrolytic enzymes that could damage the membranes are not free-floating; they are contained in lysosomes. Even when they're active, they are not released or "come out" of the vesicle. Whatever needs hydrolyzing comes in instead. For example, food vacuoles will fuse with the lysosome, and the nutrients will come into contact with the enzymes within the contained space.
Were is chilli cheetos in ksa?
it has be banned as it contained pork enzymes this as been conformied even by wikipidea
Do bananas have starch when they are ripe and edible?
They may contain some, but not as much as when they were green or partially ripened. Certain enzymes in bananas are converted to sugars during the ripening process, which is what makes them sweeter and softer as they ripen.
Where are animal cells digestive enzymes in the cell?
Digestive enzymes are contained in vesicles called lysosomes. They are produced by the Golgi body and dispose of worn-out organelles and carry out digestion.
Are green bananas a starch?
Certain enzymes in bananas convert starch in the banana into sugar, which is part of the ripening process and what makes the fruit sweeter and softer as it ripens. Therefore, the greener the fruit is the more starch it will contain.
