The salivary amylase works mostly in the mouth and in the esophagus. Once it reaches the stomach, the high pH denatures the salivary amylase and cannot be used. However, once the food reaches the duodenum the pancreas releases pancreatic amylase to continually digest carbohydrates.
The mouth.
It's secreted from the salivary glands, into the mouth where it mixes with food to help break it down.
Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes starch. An example of site action of amylase is the small intestine. It is produced by the pancreas.
Salivary amylase is secreted to the mouth from the salivary glands in the mouth. The amylase then breaks down starchy foods, converting the starch to maltose.
Salivary glands in the mouth
The pancreas
The substrate for pancreatic amylase is starch. It is an enzyme, secreted in the pancreas, that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into sugars.
An amylopsin is a pancreatic form of amylase.
Amylase
Starch is broken down in the mouth, by salivary amylase; and in the small intestine, by pancreatic amylase.
what are three names of enzymes found in pancreatic juices?
The substrate for pancreatic amylase is starch. It is an enzyme, secreted in the pancreas, that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into sugars.
pancreatic amylase catalyses the hydrolysis of starch to maltose.
Salivary amylase breaks 1-4 Linkage whereas Pancreatic amylase breaks 1-6 linkage in Polysacharides

Pancreatic Amylase converts starch into.............MALTOSE!! and other byproducts.
Amylase is the enzyme responsible for breaking down starch.
