What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
starch can be broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme amylase
What disaccharide does the digestive enzyme amylase break down starch to?
Amylase helps the break down of starch into sugars (disaccharides). Amylase itself is not broken down. It is an enzyme and it doesn't enter into the reaction in any way. The disaccharide that is formed is sucrose, maltose or lactose.
What is the meaning of failure of iodine reagent to give a color with starch after incubation with saliva?
It means starch is no longer present; it is broken down by amylase into simple sugars in the saliva.
Which organelle of a cell is where sugars are broken down?
mitochondrionSugars are basically broken down in the cytoplasm of the cell
What are the enzymes found in saliva that break down starch is called?
Amylase breaks down starch into sugars.
What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
starch can be broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme amylase
What is the smallest subunit into which starch can be broken down?
monosaccharides (simple sugars such as glucose)
What type of food molecule is broken down to glucose by digestion?
Sugars and starches are broken down into glucose.
When you digest food starch is broken down to what molecule?
the startch component from plants is broken down to maltose and then maltose digested to glucose, the sugar found in your blood.
How is starch different thana simple suger?
Starches are made of simple sugars, like glucos. Starches are broken down into simple sugars for the body to use.
What disaccharide does the digestive enzyme amylase break down starch to?
Amylase helps the break down of starch into sugars (disaccharides). Amylase itself is not broken down. It is an enzyme and it doesn't enter into the reaction in any way. The disaccharide that is formed is sucrose, maltose or lactose.
What function does starch have on the body?
It provides a slow release of energy. It can be stored in the liver, muscles or tissues and extra starch is broken down into simple sugars and stored as fat.
What is the meaning of failure of iodine reagent to give a color with starch after incubation with saliva?
It means starch is no longer present; it is broken down by amylase into simple sugars in the saliva.
Will an enzyme that breaks down starch work on an enzyme that breaks down protein?
Saliva contains amylase, which breaks down complex sugars such as starch. However starch can't ever be broken down into proteins. They are fundamentally different, starch is a polysaccharide while protein is a polypeptide.
How does starch affects amylase?
Amylase breaks starch down into sugars.
What are cell structure in which sugars are broken down?
The mitochondria is where the sugars are broken down and which energy is released.
What are functions of complex carbohydrates?
1. Starch (Complex Carbohydrate) is broken down by the body into sugars that can be used by the body. 2. Glucose (Complex Carbohydrate) can be broken down to provide a quick source of glucose.
