What is the substance that breaks down starch into sugar?
Maltase
A general process which breaks down large molecules into smaller ones?
The process that breaks up molecules into smaller units is called catabolism. Large molecules, such as nucleic acids, are broken down into smaller molecules, such as amino acids.
What enzyme breaks down RNA?
Ribonuclease breaks down RNA
What breaks complex sugars into simple sugars and proteins down to amino acids?
The enzyme amylase breaks the complex sugars into simple sugars. The enzyme pepsin in the stomach breake the peptide bond to get peptides. The enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin from pancreas break the peptides to amino acids, in the small intestine.
What do protease break down into?
Protease is an enzyme so it would break down into amino acids. (If you meant protein then the same is true)
What does protease do?
Protease is an enzyme that breaks down proteins to amino acids and peptides.
What does proteins breakdown into?
protein breaks down into pectiducts from the trypsin enzyme, then it is further broken down by pectin enzyme into amino acids
Which enzymes are responsible for the final chemical breakdown of carbohydrates and amino acids and nucleic acids?
Trypsin and chymotrypsin break down proteins. Lipase breaks down lipids. Amylase breaks down starches and carbohydrates
What is the substance that breaks down starch into sugar?
Maltase
What kind of enzyme or digestive juice breaks down proteins to amino acids?
amino acid
Which break down fats anf oils acids or bases?
pancrelipase is the enzyme that breaks down protein and fat
What breaks down fats into glycerol and fatty acids?
Lipase is the enzyme that targets lipid molecules.
What individual molecule do you get when an enzyme breaks down a fat molecule?
A fat is an ester of three 'fatty acids' and glycerol.
What enzyme breaks down rice?
An amylase is an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar.
A general process which breaks down large molecules into smaller ones?
The process that breaks up molecules into smaller units is called catabolism. Large molecules, such as nucleic acids, are broken down into smaller molecules, such as amino acids.
What is the name of the enzyme that breaks down amylose?
The enzyme that breaks down amylose is called amylase.
What juice comes from the pancreas and bile?
The bile breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol by physical digestion through a process called emulsification.The juice in the pancreas(pancreatic juice) contains amylase enzyme,lipase enzyme and protease enzyme.The amylase enzyme breaks down carbohydrates into maltose,the lipase enzyme breaks down fats into fatty acids and the protease breaks down protein into amino acids.Basically it is to break down food (digestion).
