Which enzyme will break down starch into smaller monosaccharide molecules?
Alpha amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch into it's individual glucose monosaccharide molecules.
What enzyme breaks starch down into sugar?
Bile and Amylase are the two enzymes that break down starch into sugars.
What happens when enzymes are added to starch suspension?
The enzyme eg. Amylase will break down the starch into sugar.
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.
An enzyme that breaks down starch will also break down proteins?
Proteases are enzymes which break down proteins. Each enzyme can only break down one substance (they are specific to one substrate). This is because their active site has a specific shape to fit a protein and will not fit a starch molecule.
Which enzyme will break down starch into smaller monosaccharide molecules?
Alpha amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch into it's individual glucose monosaccharide molecules.
What can the enzyme amylase break down?
The enzyme amylase can break down starch to maltose.
Is amylase organic?
yes it is since it is an enzyme that is made by the human body to break down starch
Is amylase an intracellular enzyme?
Amylase is an enzyme in your saliva which can break down starch to sugar in a a matter of minutes or seconds. The salivary glands in your mouth release the amylase to break down the starch, and therefore, amylase is an extracellular enzyme.
Describe how the enzyme affects starch?
Assists in the break down of starch to glucose in 3 different ways.
What enzyme breaks starch down into sugar?
Bile and Amylase are the two enzymes that break down starch into sugars.
What enzyme in your mouth that starts the starts down the break down of starches?
Salivary Amylase (also known as Ptyalin) is found in saliva. It breaks down starch into dextrose and maltose (simple sugars). The speed of the process is enhanced by gastric acids. basically the enzyme Amylase break down starch in to smaller molecules so the small intestine can absorb it.
What happens when enzymes are added to starch suspension?
The enzyme eg. Amylase will break down the starch into sugar.

How does the human body break down starches?
The body uses enzymes called amylase to break down starches. This enzyme is structured to break down the starch and no other enzyme can perform this function.
Substance that contains a starch-splitting enzyme?
The substance that contains a starch-splitting enzyme is the pancreatic juice and saliva. The two types of enzymes that break down starch are pancreatic amylase and salivary amylase.
