Both the salivary glands in the head and the pancreas in the abdomen. The salivary glands produce salivary amylase that is released into te mouth where it acts on the carbohydrate. The pancreases produces pancreatic amylase which is released into the duodenum of the small intestine.

What enzyme produces maltose?
Amylase
The secretions of the salivary gland begin the digestion of?
The salivary glad produces amylase. It is an enzyme that primarily functions to digest starches. Amylase is also produces in the pancreas.
What will bacteria do with products for starch hydrolysis?
Let me guess, this question is for a lab write up in your microbiology class? When your bacteria, probably Bacillus cereus, act on starch they produce glucose. You have probably already done this lab but the bacteria will ferment the glucose. E.coli does not hydrolyze the starch because it does not produce amylase (which break down the starch into simple sugars).
What is the name of the enzyme that digests starch?
AMYLASE
What is the product of amylase?
There are three different types of amylase. They all break down starches into sugars. Alpha-amylase is the most common and produces maltotriose and maltose, or maltose, glucose, and limit dextrin.
What enzyme produces maltose?
Amylase
What organ produces salivary amylase?
The small intestine and the salivary glands are the organs of the digestive system that produces the enzyme amylase.
The intestinal caecum produces which digestive enzyme?
Amylase
The secretions of the salivary gland begin the digestion of?
The salivary glad produces amylase. It is an enzyme that primarily functions to digest starches. Amylase is also produces in the pancreas.
What organism produces amylase?
The salivary glands in the mouth which break down starches.
Do the small intestine make intestinal amylase?
Yes. The pancreas produces another form of amylase called pancreatic amylase that acts on polymers of glucose. This enxyme is secreted inot the duodenum of the small intestine.
Produces a product containing amylase that begins starch breakdown in the mouth?
Salivary glands
What produces enzymes that break down carbohydrates and proteins called?
Amylase for carbs Protease for protein

Which organ produces amylase?
I think it is the Stomach, Salivary Glands, Pancreas, Small Intestine :)
If your mouth produces amylase and your stomach is highly acidic what happens to the amylase when you swallow?
Amylase is an enzyme, which is a type of protein. Protein denatures when temperature or pH (acidity) is changed. for example, amylase will no longer digest starch if you put it in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. in the stomach, hydrochloric acid is produced by the stomach lining to digest food. this acid will denature the amylase when the swallowed food mixed with amylase from the mouth enters the stomach.
Which salivary gland produces a serous secretion containing large amounts of salivary amylase?
Parotid Gland
