What is the name of the enzyme that breaks down amylose?
The enzyme that breaks down amylose is called amylase.
Are starches with a relatively large amount of amylose digested more quickly than those with amylopectin?
Enzymes are often substrate-specific, meaning they will only catalyze a reaction with a certain molecule. The difference in structure between amylose and amylopectin causes amylase to catalyze one and not the other.
Is amylase an enzyme?
Yes, it breaks down the starch amylose.
What is the monosaccharide that results from the complete hydrolysis of amylose?
Amylose is made up of α(1→4) bonded glucose monomers, so glucose is the only product of complete hydrolytic breakdown.
When molecules in air break down into ions it forms what?
something
Why is amylopectin more compact than amylose?
Actually, amylose is more compact than amylopectin due to its helical structure. Amylose is unbranching and forms a compact helix, whereas amylopectin is a branching structure.
What is the function of amylose?
Amylose helps keep the structure of plants amylose is good for storage in plants.
What is the indicator for starch?
Iodine. Iodine forms a complex with the amylose chains, forming a nice bright blue color.
What is an amylose?
An amylose is the soluble form of starch which is a linear polymer of glucose.
What is the difference between amylose and amylopectin?
Amylopectin is easer for enzymes to get around and break it down. Amylose is a long unbranced chain of glucose, it has a cylinder like structure wich makes it compact so its good for storage. Amylopectin is a long branched chain of glucose, its structure is a benifit because enzymes that break glycosidic bonds to break down the moleclue get to it faster. This means glucose is released faster.
What is the name of the enzyme that breaks down amylose?
The enzyme that breaks down amylose is called amylase.
How many syllables in downed?
There are two syllables in the word 'downed'.
What do you call a crashed or downed helicopter?
Crashed or downed would be acceptable.
What is amylose a form of?
Starch
Amylose is a form of?
STARCH
Where is amylose digested?
in the mouth
The molecular arrangement of cornstarch?
Starch is a large molecule and comes in two main forms; the linear (and helically folded) amylose and the branched amylopectin. The percentage of each form varies by species but generally speaking 1/5 to 1/4 amylose and 4/5 to 3/4 amylopectin is in the right ballpark.
