What happens to starch in a cracker when it react with saliva?
The enzymes in the saliva help break down the starch in the cracker.
What material is formed when enzymes in saliva mix with starch?
When enzymes in saliva mix with starch, first the carbohydrates are broken down into dextrin. Then dextrin is broken down into maltose and glucose
Enzymes acting on starch is found in?
Saliva and pancreatic juice.
Do enzymes change starch into glucose?
Yes they do. Enzymes change starch into glucose for cellular respiration.
What are the enzymes found in saliva that break down starch is called?
Amylase breaks down starch into sugars.
What happens to starch in a cracker when it react with saliva?
The enzymes in the saliva help break down the starch in the cracker.
What happened to the starch solution after you have added saliva?
Saliva contains enzymes which catalyse the breakdown of starch to maltose and dextrin. If starch solution is treated with saliva, these simpler sugars will soon start to form, which means the mixture will give the Benedict's test.
Can saliva break down any substances other than starch?
No, because amylase, like all other enzymes, has a very specific structure. Only one substrate has a shape that is complementary to amylase, which is starch. Any other molecules will be unable to bind to the active site, and so reactions with other substances won't happen.

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 enzymes are found in rabbit saliva?
rabbit saliva contains an enzyme capable of hydrolysing starch to sugar
Do enzymes change starch into glucose?
Yes they do. Enzymes change starch into glucose for cellular respiration.
What are the enzymes found in saliva that break down starch is called?
Amylase breaks down starch into sugars.
What happens in digestion?
In chemical Digestion, starch and fat are digested by the enzymes in saliva
What enzymes are involved in digesting starch to glucose?
Amylase, found predominantly in saliva.
How is starch changed by saliva in the mouth?
It changes into smaller molecules by the saliva.
