Which enzyme digests starches?
Amylase is the enzyme that digests starch.
What is the enzyme that digests starch?
The enzyme that digests starts is known as amylase. Carbohydrate enzymes are also known for the breakdown of starts into sugar.
Does carbohydrate belong to amylase?
No. Amylase is an enzyme in your mouth and your small intestine that digests carbohydrates.
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 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 name of the enzyme that digests starch?
AMYLASE

No. Amylase is an enzyme in your mouth and your small intestine that digests carbohydrates.
What enzyme helps you digest starch?
Amylase digests starch
Why people are lack tose and tolarant?
lactose intolerant. they lack the enzyme amylase which digests dairy
What enzyme digests starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides?
The enzyme that breaks down starch is called 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.
What are the names and jobs of the digestive enzymes in the mouth stomach and small intestines?
Amylase- digests starches Cellulase- digests fibers Lactase- digests dairy products Lipases- digests fats Maltase- digests starch & grains Proteases- digests proteins Sucrase- digests sugars
What is in saliva that moistens food?
it contains enzyme amylase which digests starch,and a lubricant which makes food slippery and easy to swallow
Whay enzyme digests insulin?
No, insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas to lower a person's blood sugar level. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up a biological process. An example of an enzyme is 'Amylase' this enzyme is found in saliva and is responsible for the initial breakdown of sugar before entering the stomach.
Does amylase use cellulose as a substrate?
No, amylase does not use cellulose as a substrate. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into simple sugars like maltose and glucose. Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate that requires other enzymes, like cellulase, for its breakdown.
