What else can I help you with?
What does salivary amylases break down?
Amylase breaks down complex sugars into simple sugars.
What breaks complex sugars into simple sugars and proteins down to amino acids?
The enzyme amylase breaks the complex sugars into simple sugars. The enzyme pepsin in the stomach breake the peptide bond to get peptides. The enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin from pancreas break the peptides to amino acids, in the small intestine.
Is amylase safe as a digestive enzyme?
Yes. Amylase is an emzyme that breaks down complex sugars such as starch into simple sugars.
Does Amylase breaks down food into a form of sugar?
Amylase is an enzyme that primarily breaks down complex starches into simple sugars like glucose and maltose. This breakdown process occurs in the mouth and continues in the small intestine to aid in digestion.
What does pancreatic amylase do in the body?
Pancreatic amylase is an enzyme produced by the pancreas that helps break down carbohydrates (starches) into smaller molecules like sugars. This process allows for the absorption of these sugars in the small intestine, providing the body with a source of energy.
How does the body absorb lactose?
Lactose is made up of glucose and galactose. They are two mono-sugars or monosaccharides. Lactase is the enzyme present in the brush border of your intestine. It breaks up the lactose into mono-sugars and then absorbs the same.
Which of the enzymes does not digest simple sugars?
Amylase is an enzyme that does not digest simple sugars. Amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates like starch into simpler sugars like glucose. Simple sugars, such as glucose and fructose, do not require enzymatic digestion since they are already in their simplest form for absorption.
What does amylase break down?
Amylase breaks down starch molecules into sugar. It is produced in the salivary glands, the pancreas and the small intestine.
Is starch is present in sugarcane?
is starch present in sugarcane
Carbohyrates are either simple or complex?
Yes. Complex carbohydrates are polymers, i.e. chains of simple sugars.
What are the two Subgroups for carbohydrates?
Carbohydrate type molecules can be divided into two chief sub-classifications. These are simple and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are sugars, and complex can be healthy starches as found in vegetables.
Summarize the differences between simple sugars double sugars and complex sugars?
simple sugars are the sugars that are bad for the body and then the double are the sugars that are twice as bad and takes out more energy during the breakdown of the body . complex sugars are pretty self explanatory . :D Also, simple sugars are sugars that the body can use directly, while complex sugars take along time to be broken down.
