Maltase is a biological catalyst used in digestion. Once starch has been broken down to maltose,maltase continues the chemical digestion and breaks the maltose down to glucose, ie a soluble, smaller molecule that can easily be absorbed.
What kind of enzyme breaks down carbohydrates?
Starch is the polysaccharide which is broken down into glucose by the body in a series of stages. Amylase digests starch into maltose (a disaccharide). Maltase is the enzyme which breaks maltose into glucose.
What is the hydrolytic product of starch?
glucose maltose and maltotriose

What is the name of the enzyme in saliva and what compound is produced when this enzyme acts on starch?
the enzyme ptylin or some amylase and it converts starch to maltose
What substance is acted on by maltase?
Maltase is an enzyme that acts on the compound maltose. It is present in saliva and pancreatic juice and catalyzes maltose into glucose.
The digestion of maltose involves the?

What would a diagram of an enzyme maltose combines with two glucose molecules to form moaltose?
it is called an enzymic maltose
What is the function of substrate?
Maltase is an enzyme which works on the substrate maltose. Maltose is a sugar consisting of two glucose subunits.
What is the job of ptyalin?
The enzyme ptyalin ,or salivary amylase acts on starches and converts them to maltose.
What is the sources of sugars?
