What macro molecule are targeted by amylase?
carbohydrates
Which enzyme is found in mouth?
salivary amylase
What secretes enzymes that digest carbohydrates proteins lipids and nucleic acids?
Proteins are digested by proteases and cabohydratases digest carbohydrase (amylase, galactosidase, cellulase etc.)
What breaks down macromolecules using digestive enzymes?
Well, you have asked a very large, yet incomplete question. There are 4 macromolecules which make up all biological systems at the cellular level. These include proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acid. Each type of macromolecule serves a different function, as do different forms of the same type. Carbohydrates, which are natural sugar compounds, are used first by the body as fast energy. Lipids are stored as energy in the form of fatty acids (when you don't use consumed energy, you store and build up fatty acids). Proteins are used last, proteins are also associated with many functions. Nucleic acid macromolecules constitute DNA and RNA, which together hold genetic material and code for the development of life forms. As far enzymes go, there are many that digest different macromolecules in many ways. I am sorry, there is simply no short answer to your question, you would do well to buy multiple biology textbooks and get down with them. However I believe the first enzyme that acts on consumed macromolecules is Amylase, Amylase exists in your saliva and breaks down starch (a carbohydrate) to glucose molecules in order to be converted to energy through aerobic respiration. Amylase also acts on starch throughout the body. Good luck learning about the magical living world.
What do proteins digest?
Proteins that carry out enzymatic activity are known as enzymes. Enzymes can catalyze the conversion of substrate into the product. In digestion hydrolytic enzymes such as proteases, lipases, glycosidases such as amylase digest proteins, lipases, and carbohydrates respectively.
What macromolecules targeted by amylase?
Carbohydrates are targeted by amylase.
What macromolecules are targeted amylase?
Carbohydrates are targeted by amylase.
What macromolecules are target by amylase?
Carbohydrates are targeted by amylase.
What macro molecule are targeted by amylase?
carbohydrates
Is salivary amylase mechanical or chemical digestion?
no, amylase is for carbohydrates. For proteins it's protease :)
What produces enzymes that break down carbohydrates and proteins called?
Amylase for carbs Protease for protein
Which enzyme is found in mouth?
salivary amylase
What are three digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates fats and proteins?
carbohydrase lipase and protease amylase
What do pancreatic enzymes digest?
The pancreatic enzymes amylase, trypsin and lipase digest proteins, fatty acids, carbohydrates and starches.
What secretes enzymes that digest carbohydrates proteins lipids and nucleic acids?
Proteins are digested by proteases and cabohydratases digest carbohydrase (amylase, galactosidase, cellulase etc.)
What food group does amylase break down?
Amylase breaks down carbohydrates. Amylase is a digestive enzyme that is needed in order for carbohydrates to be digested properly.
