What breaks down starch in the process of digestion?
The enzyme amylase breaks down starch in the process of digestion.
Does amylase effectively break down starch during the process of digestion?
Yes, amylase is an enzyme that effectively breaks down starch into simpler sugars during the process of digestion.
What substance helps break down starch during digestion and how does it work?
The substance that helps break down starch during digestion is called amylase. Amylase is an enzyme that is produced in the saliva and pancreas. It works by breaking down the bonds between the sugar molecules in starch, converting it into simpler sugars like glucose that can be easily absorbed by the body.
Why is the digestion of starch necessary?

How does the process of digestion break down starch in the body?
During digestion, starch is broken down by enzymes in the mouth and small intestine. The enzyme amylase breaks down starch into smaller sugar molecules like maltose. These sugar molecules are further broken down into glucose, which can be absorbed by the body for energy.
Why does saliva shrink starch particles?
because saliva contains an enzyme called amylase that breaks down starch, beginning digestion.
What substance is produced when starch is broken down in your disgestive system?
Glucose is produced when starch is broken down in the digestive system. This process begins in the mouth with the enzyme amylase, continues in the small intestine, and the end product is absorbed into the bloodstream for energy.
When an enzyme in saliva breaks down starch into sugar molecules in the mouth we call that digestion.?
salivary amylase.
Enzymatic digestion of starch takes place in the small intestine and also in the?
