What enzyme is responsible for fat digestion?
the lipase enzyme :)
Which enzyme is produced by the salivary glands and begins the chemical digestion of carbohydrates?
amylase
What enzyme is used to digest starch?
Digestion of starch and other carbohydrates begins in the mouth with an enzyme called salivary 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.
When the enzyme ptyalin acts on carbohydrate in the mouth it exhibits a property called.?
Digestion of carbohydrates.
Which organs produce the enzyme lipase needed for triglyceride digestion?
salivary amylase.
How is carbohydrates digested in the alimentary canal?
It is digested in the salivary glands and pancreas by the enzyme amylase. Converted into disaccharides.
Where is lipase synthesized?
Lipase is an enzyme that helps break down food during digestion. No, lipase is not produced in the liver. It is produced in the pancreas.
Which organ help digest carbohydrate?
Digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth via the teeth and the enzyme beta amylase. It continues in the stomach, but most occurs in the small intestine, where secretion of enzymes by the gall bladder and pancreas complete it.
What juice comes from the pancreas and bile?
The bile breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol by physical digestion through a process called emulsification.The juice in the pancreas(pancreatic juice) contains amylase enzyme,lipase enzyme and protease enzyme.The amylase enzyme breaks down carbohydrates into maltose,the lipase enzyme breaks down fats into fatty acids and the protease breaks down protein into amino acids.Basically it is to break down food (digestion).
What enzyme is produced by the pancreas and the salivary glands?
Amylase is the enzyme made in the salivary glands and the pancreas. Its function is to break down complex carbohydrates, sometimes called starches.. In the mouth they are called salivary amylase and in the small intestine they are called pancreatic amylase. This enzyme is also known as ptyalin.
Do the salivary gland and pancreas both secrete amylase?
Yes, both the salivary gland and the pancreas secrete amylase. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates into smaller sugar molecules. In the salivary glands, amylase is produced in saliva to begin the digestion of starches in the mouth. In the pancreas, amylase is produced and released into the small intestine to further break down starches into simpler sugars.
