Amylase is an enzyme. This does not produce any or create new thing but however enzyme helps to increase the rate of reaction by breaking down larger molecule to the smaller ones or making larger molecules using smaller one. it usually breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugar.

What enzyme dissolves starch?
Amylase enzymes.
Do the small intestine make intestinal amylase?
Yes. The pancreas produces another form of amylase called pancreatic amylase that acts on polymers of glucose. This enxyme is secreted inot the duodenum of the small intestine.
What is the name of the enzyme that digests starch?
AMYLASE
Is ptylin an alpha amylase or beta amylase?
Ptyalin is an alpha-amylase. It is the alpha-amylase found in saliva
How does amylase make it possible for starch to be digested at body temp?
Amylase in an enzyme which is also a biological catalyst which reduces the activation energy needed for the hyrolysis of starch
What dissolves starch?
amylase:) amylase:)
Where is amylase released?
The enzyme amylase is released in the mouth, referred as the salivary amylase, and in the duodenum of the small intestine by the pancreas, referred as the pancreatic amylase.
What Enzymes are responsible for breakdown of starches?
They are Broken down by Amylase Enymes.
If your mouth produces amylase and your stomach is highly acidic what happens to the amylase when you swallow?
Amylase is an enzyme, which is a type of protein. Protein denatures when temperature or pH (acidity) is changed. for example, amylase will no longer digest starch if you put it in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. in the stomach, hydrochloric acid is produced by the stomach lining to digest food. this acid will denature the amylase when the swallowed food mixed with amylase from the mouth enters the stomach.
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.
How does saliva alpha amylase work?
Amylase is an enzyme that induces hydrolysis of starches, breaking them down into sugar. Saliva alpha amylase is simply a type of amylase.
What type of organic compound is found in Amylase?
amylase has enzymes, but enzymes are not an organic compound. The four types of organic compounds would be lipids, nucleic acids carbohydrates and protein. Your body makes enzymes and amylase, and anything your body make is a protein. Therefore your answer is a protein.
