What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the enzyme that breaks down amylose?
The enzyme that breaks down amylose is called amylase. Amylase helps to hydrolyze the alpha-glycosidic bonds in amylose, breaking it down into smaller glucose units that can be utilized by the body for energy.
What is glucose called after it enters the cell?
it breaks down in the mitochondra
When you eat your body breaks down the food you eat into a form of sugar called what?
Your body breaks down the food you eat into a form of sugar called glucose.
What must be added to glucose in order to extract energy from it?
In order to extract energy from glucose, it must be combined with oxygen through a process called cellular respiration. This process breaks down glucose molecules into smaller units, releasing energy that can be used by the cell.
What does starch yield when it is hydrolyzed?
Starch yields glucose molecules when it is hydrolyzed, as starch is made up of long chains of glucose units. The hydrolysis process breaks down these chains into individual glucose units, which can then be used as a source of energy by the body.
What does lactose break down into?
Lactose functions at the brush border to break down lactose into smaller sugars called glucose and galactose for absorption.
What breaks down glucose?
glucase
When amylase breaks down starch what does it release?
amylase breaks starch down and releases maltose from which maltase breaks it up into two glucose molecules
What does glucose break down to?
Carbon dioxide & water and releases two units of energy carried as ATP
What cell does glucose partly break down in?
The Mitochondria in a cell breaks down the Glucose
If lactase breaks down lactose and galactose then the enzyme sucrase breaks down?
The enzyme sucrase breaks down sucrose. Glucose and fructose are the products of this chemical reaction.
What product are formed when starch is slowly hydrolyzed?
When starch is slowly hydrolyzed, it breaks down into maltose, maltotriose, and dextrins. Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose units, while maltotriose is a trisaccharide composed of three glucose units. Dextrins are short chains of glucose molecules.
