What catalyst in digestion turns starch into glucose?
Enzymes
What happens in chemical digestion?
In chemical Digestion, starch and fat are digested by the enzymes in saliva
What substances does the enzymes in saliva change starch into?
it contains enzymes which break the starch down to sugar
What is likely to prevent digestion of starch by carbohydrase enzymes in the stomach?
the hydrochloric acid is likely to prevent the digestion of starch by carbohydrase enzymes in the stomache because the carbohydrase enzymes optimum PH is PH7. The Hydrochloric acid in the stomache makes the PH in the stomache PH3 therefore the stomache has too weak a PH for the enzymes to be able to work.
How does the digestion of fat in a strip of ham different from the digestion of starch in a piece of toast?
The digestion of fat will begin in the small intestine, whereas the digestion of starch which begin in the mouth (the mouth contains the enzyme amylase, which helps break down starch)
How do enzymes affect food?
Enzymes help in digestion of food by catalyzing the biochemcal reactions between food molecules and chemicals that helps in digestion. Enzymes speed up the biochemical reactions and act as catalysts.
Which food type do enzymes in saliva attack?
The enzyme in your saliva is Amylase, which is used to breakdown Amylose, a form of starch. Starch is a complex carbohydrate, so the enzyme in your saliva breaks down complex carbohydrates.
What types digestion occur in the mouth?
The body begins digestion in the mouth by breaking down food and exposing it to certain digestive enzymes. Amylase for starch digestion and lipase for fat digestion are enzymes found in human saliva. For humans, it is especially important to thoroughly chew cooked starches, such as pasta, bread, or baked potatoes, because much of our starch digestion occurs in the mouth.
Why is there little or no digestion of starch in the stomach A. mucus inhibits starch breakdown B Stomach enzymes are dysfunctional C should not be eaten with protein D. salivary enzymes don't work?
The answer is B
Which enzyme help animals to digest plants?
Cellulase helps in digestion of plant cell wall , Amylase helps in digestion of starch .
What are the enzymes that digest your food?
amylase = starch, digestion starts in the mouth, pepsin = protein, starts in the stomachlysosomes.
