Amylase reactions happen when the enzyme called amylase breaks down starch molecules into sugar molecules. When a seed with a lot of starch sprouts into a plant, for example, it is likely to use amylase to convert the starch, which it cannot use directly, into sugar, which it can use.

Which bacterial enzyme is responsible for the first reaction involved in the conversion of starch into glucose?
amylase
What disaccharide does the digestive enzyme amylase break down starch to?
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.
How will the time taken for starch to digested in amylase be affected by the temperature?
investigate the relationship between reaction temperature and the effectiveness of the Enzyme amalayse on starch
What proteins that speed up certain chemical reaction?
Amylase helps speed up breakdown of starch molecules.
State one other factor apart from temperature that will affect the rate of reaction of amylase?
pH and temperature
What happens when an amylase gets too hot?
when an amylase gets too hot the amylase begins to break down the amylase and the reaction slows down dramatically to where it cannot function properly anymore
How does NaCl affect the rate at which amylase hydrolyse starch?
It speeds up the reaction so amylase works faster.
What does the term spontaneous mean in a chemical reaction?
This is a very fast reaction.
Amylase of 168 does that mean you need to be admit to the hospital?
my amylase is 168 does this mean i need to be hospitize
What is the product of the reaction when alpha-amylase acts on amylose?
maltose and glucose
What does reaction mean in science term?
it means the products
What does the term chemical salts mean?
A salt is a product of a neutralization reaction: a reaction between an acid and a base.
Which bacterial enzyme is responsible for the first reaction involved in the conversion of starch into glucose?
amylase
Why is a blank used in salivary amylase?
for recalabations of equipment to to see a significant change ie reaction
What disaccharide does the digestive enzyme amylase break down starch to?
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.
What does AMY mean in chemistry?
AMY can be an amylase enzyme.
In which reaction mixture did hydrolysis of starch occur?
The Starch Hydrolysis by Amylase is the reaction mixture that leads to the hydrolysis of starch. This usually occurs during the metabolic reactions.
