What is the substance that breaks down starch into sugar?
Maltase
When amylase breaks down starch what does it release?
amylase breaks starch down and releases maltose from which maltase breaks it up into two glucose molecules
How the enzyme amylase affects starch?
It catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into maltose and dextrin. An easier way to explain is that the amylase acts a catalyst( invloved in reaction but not used up) and breaks the starch down to the sugar maltose at a certain temperature.
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 enzyme breaks down rice?

What is the chemical reaction if you use caustic soda to make paper from banana trunk?
I understand that it breaks down the lignin to release the celulose fibres.
Salivary amylase breaks down starches?
breakdown of amylase and amylopectin into disaccharides and trisaccharides
What are the enzymes found in saliva that break down starch is called?

Saliva contains an enzyme that breaks down?

What breaks down starch dextrins into maltose?
Yes.
