What enzyme breaks starch down into sugar?
Bile and Amylase are the two enzymes that break down starch into sugars.
What organ breaks down starch in the diet?
enzymes break down starch, they are found in your mouth, stomach, gut etc.
What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
starch can be broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme amylase
What was the effect of peptidase on starch?
Peptidase does not have an effect on starch. Peptidase is an enzyme that breaks down proteins, not carbohydrates like starch. Starch is primarily broken down by enzymes such as amylase.
What are the enzymes found in saliva that break down starch is called?
The enzyme found in saliva that breaks down starch is called amylase. Amylase helps to hydrolyze starch into smaller molecules such as maltose and glucose, which can then be absorbed in the intestines for energy.
What emzyems only break down starch?
Amylases (enzymes) break down or degrade starch.
Will an enzyme that breaks down starch work on an enzyme that breaks down protein?
Saliva contains amylase, which breaks down complex sugars such as starch. However starch can't ever be broken down into proteins. They are fundamentally different, starch is a polysaccharide while protein is a polypeptide.
What are some common enzymes?
Lactase is a common enzyme that breaks down lactose. Other common enzymes are diastase with aids in breaking down vegetable starch, sucrase which digests sugars, and protease which breaks down proteins
Does the liver secrete amylase?
no, amylase in found in the mouth in saliva, it breaks down starch.
What enzymes are needed for pasta?
Amylase breaks down carbohydrates, starches, and sugars. Pasta is a form of starch and the breakdown of starch begins in the mouth.
What enzymes break down bread?
The enzymes responsible for breaking down bread are amylase, which breaks down starch into simpler sugars, and protease, which breaks down proteins into amino acids. These enzymes are naturally present in our saliva and digestive system.
What is a class or group of enzymes that break down carbohydrates?
Carbohydrase breaks down starch-Amylase breaks down glucose into fructose (sweeter; useful for diabetics)-Isomerase breaks down proteins-Protease breaks down fats-Lipase
