What are starch molecules broken up by?

Why does iodine stop turning starch blue when saliva is present?
Saliva contains a digestive enzyme that converts starch into sugar.
What will happen if you add some amylase to a starch solution and test it after 5 minutes?
Amylase is an enzyme and contribute to the degradation of starch in simple sugars.
Why did very little if any starch digestion occur in test tube 4A?
Because the enzyme amylase was denatured. It was boiled first before putting the starch in.
At which enzyme concentration is starch hydrolyzed the fastest and slowest?
The enzyme that hydrolyzes starch the fastest is the amylase enzyme. This enzyme breaks down the starch until there is only sugar left.
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 dissolves starch?
amylase:) amylase:)
What enzyme helps you digest starch?

What enzyme converts the glucose into bigger molecules?
Starch is an enzyme that converts the glucose into bigger molecules. Starch is proteins and fat.
Out of sugar enzyme glucose starch which substance is not a carbohydrate?
glucose starch
What hydrolyse starch?
amylase enzyme
What enzyme synthesises starch from glucose -1- phosphate?
this enzyme is called phosphorylase.
What enzyme is used to digest starch?
Digestion of starch and other carbohydrates begins in the mouth with an enzyme called salivary amylase.
What enzyme in your saliva reacts with carbohydrates?
The most important would be the starch breaking enzyme amylase, which catalyzes the decomposition of starch into simpler sugars.
How starch and cellulose treated to allow them to be used by the yeast?
Starch-you use an enzyme e.g. amylase to convert the starch to sugar ,add an enzyme which breaks the starch or cellulose into sugars. The yeast will then ferment the sugars. Not sure about cellulose...
