Enzymes known as amylases.
It does not digest starch faster. The saliva produced before the meal will have a longer time to prepare.
Starch is the storage form of glucose in plants. Glucose is compounded into chians called starch and stored for later use. During times when there is a deficiency of glucose in plant cells, this stored starch can be broken down back into glucose and used in various metabolic processes
The function of starch in plant cells is primarily the storage, and then the releasing, of biochemical energy.
Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules
Enzymes known as amylases.
Sugar molecules are more easily transported through the cell membrane than larger starch molecules.
Pepsin does not digest. It breaks down proteins into amino acids. Pepsin cannot break down starch. This is probably because the pH of starch is higher than the optimum pH of Pepsin.
No, starch is easier to digest.

The main function of maltose is to digest starch . Starch is commonly used in plants to store glucose and maltose will serve as the intermediary product of the digestion of starch.
Amylase digests starch
It does not digest starch faster. The saliva produced before the meal will have a longer time to prepare.
Digestion of starch and other carbohydrates begins in the mouth with an enzyme called salivary amylase.
Starch doesn't digest saliva. The enzyme in saliva digests starch.
