Amylase helps the break down of starch into sugars (disaccharides). Amylase itself is not broken down. It is an enzyme and it doesn't enter into the reaction in any way. The disaccharide that is formed is sucrose, maltose or lactose.

A digestive enzyme such as pancreatic amylase breaks down starch to what disaccharide studied in this laboratory?
Amylase hydrolyses starch into maltose.
WHICH IS THE FIRST ENZYME TO MIX WITH FOOD IN THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM?
Amylase is the first enzyme to mix with food in the digestive system. It is present in the saliva and help in the digestion of starch.
What kind of enzyme breaks down carbohydrates?
Starch is the polysaccharide which is broken down into glucose by the body in a series of stages. Amylase digests starch into maltose (a disaccharide). Maltase is the enzyme which breaks maltose into glucose.
What enzyme is responsible for hydrolysis of starch with saliva?
This is amylase.
At which enzyme concentration is starch hydrolyzed the fastest and slowest?
The enzyme that hydrolyzes starch the fastest is the amylase enzyme. This enzyme breaks down the starch until there is only sugar left.
A digestive enzyme such as pancreatic amylase breaks down starch to what disaccharide studied in this laboratory?
Amylase hydrolyses starch into maltose.
What enzyme digests starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides?
The enzyme that breaks down starch is called amylase
What enzyme is used to digest starch?
Digestion of starch and other carbohydrates begins in the mouth with an enzyme called salivary amylase.
Which part of the digestive system begins the breakdown of starch to suger?
amylase enzyme
Is amylase safe as a digestive enzyme?
Yes. Amylase is an emzyme that breaks down complex sugars such as starch into simple sugars.
WHICH IS THE FIRST ENZYME TO MIX WITH FOOD IN THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM?
Amylase is the first enzyme to mix with food in the digestive system. It is present in the saliva and help in the digestion of starch.
Saliva changes complex carbohydrates into what to make it easier to digest?
Saliva contains an enzyme called amylase. The amylase breaks down the polysaccharide starch into a disaccharide called glucose.
What enzyme dissolves starch?
Amylase enzymes.
What is the name of the enzyme that digests starch?
AMYLASE
What enzyme acts on starches and turns it into sugar?
Amylase: Starch or amylose is a polysaccharide (carbohydrate) comprised of long chains of glucose molecules. The enzyme, amylase, hydrolyzes starch to dextrins (short chains of glucose molecules), maltose (disaccharide containing glucose) and glucose (sugar).
What is the product of amylase?
There are three different types of amylase. They all break down starches into sugars. Alpha-amylase is the most common and produces maltotriose and maltose, or maltose, glucose, and limit dextrin.
Which enzyme converts starch into maltose?
Amylase catalyses starch into maltose.
