Why do seeds need enzymes to convert starch for germination?
digestive track
What part of the body has enzymes that begins the process of breaking down starch molecules?
The salivary glands have an enzyme called amylase that begins the breakdown of starch.

What enzyme catalyzes the digestion of starch?
Lactase catalyzes the breakdown of lactose. It would probably not catalyze the breakdown of starch because enzymes are SPECIFIC and are typically named for the substrate that it acts on. Amylase is the enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of starch. (Named so because in plants, starch is stored in the amyloplasts)
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 do digestive enzymes do to starch?
the digestive enzymes turn the starch in to sugar!
Does the pancreas breakdown fats and carbs?
The digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas help to break down fats, proteins and starch molecules.
What do digestive enzymes split starch into?
Starch is a polysaccharide made up of a chain of sugar molecules. Digestive enzymes split starch into glucose molecules by breaking up links of the chain.

Which part of the digestive system begins the breakdown of starch to suger?
amylase enzyme
What organ is needed to digest starches and protein?
Your mouth begins digesting starch. Saliva contains enzymes that help digest starch. Then when food enters your small intestine, other enzymes help digest starch. In your large intestine, bacteria help you digest starch.
What enzymes are needed for pasta?
Amylase breaks down carbohydrates, starches, and sugars. Pasta is a form of starch and the breakdown of starch begins 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
What digestive materials are introduced by saliva?
Water to help with chewing Enzymes that break down starch

The salivary glands have an enzyme called amylase that begins the breakdown of starch.
What kind of organic compounds that function in building tissues and acting as enzymes?
Two organic compounds that act as enzymes are maltase and amylase. Amylase is involved in the breakdown of starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides, which are then broken down into glucose by other enzymes. Maltase is involved in the breakdown of the disaccharide maltose, a disaccharide formed when starch is broken down.
