Carbohydrates -- Salivary amylase breaks the covalent bonds between glucose molecules in starch and other polysaccharides to produce the disaccharides maltose and isomaltose. Maltose and isomaltose have a sweet taste; thus, the digestion of polysaccharides by salivary amylase enhances the sweet taste of food.

Which digestive enzymes are action at site different from the site where they are produced?
amylase
What do enzymes have to do with the digestive system?
Enzymes such as salivary amylase help break down starches and carbohydrates during digestion.
What doe the pancreas do?
It sercretes digestive enzymes such as amylase,lipase and protease.This help me to digest food.
One of the three digestive enzymes present in the saliva is?
Several examples: amylase, lypase, lysozyme.
What is amalyse?
Amylase is a digestive enzymes to break down carbohydrates. Amylase is found in saliva. Digestive enzymes are found in the body, but they can also be derived from various other sources for supplementation. The sources may include synthetic manufacture, animal enzymes, or fungi.It is the broad name for enzymes such as lactase, maltase, and sucrase all which help to break down carbohydrates.
What are three digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates fats and proteins?
carbohydrase lipase and protease amylase
What are the different functions of the pancreas and how is the pancreas directly related to digestion?
pancreas makes enzymes and hormones such as insulin and glucagon for the body. It secretes digestive enzymes such as amylase which digests starch. It also produces lipase (which breaks down fats) and trypsin (which is a protein processor).
What are seven enzymes involved in the digestive system?
salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase, intestinal enzyme, intestinal peptidase, chymotrypsin, pancreatic lipase, bile from gall bladder
What are some enzymes found in the digestive system?
Pancreatic amylase Lipase Pepsin Salivary amylase Maltase Rennin (younger version of pepsin mostly found in babies)
