Amylase
Maltase
Because the body breaks down starch with enzymes to make glucose, which is used as an energy source for the body and muscles and is also used in respiration.
The body manufactures ATP by breaking down glycogen or glucose. The ATP is then partially broken down to provide energy, leaving behind lactic acid. After about three minutes of activity, enough lactic acid accumulates around the muscles to cause muscle fatigue. No oxygen is involved in this anaerobic process.
starch is the nutrient that provides greatest amount of energy. during the process of digestion starch is converted into maltose which is then converted into glucose. breaking down of 1 glucose molecule provides 2780kilo joules of energy.
After the energy from sunlight, glucose is probably the most important molecule on earth. In photosynthesis, energy from sunlight is converted into chemical energy stored in the chemical bonds of glucose. But sunlight remains the ultimate source of energy for almost all species on the earth.
Glucose taken into the cell, glucose broken down to yield ATP, ATP used for cellular activities.
No, it's not an enzyme, it's a simple sugar.
Several. * Amylase breaks down starch to simpler sugar * sucrase breaks down sucrose to glucose * maltase breaks down maltose to glucose
Maltase
Starch is the polysaccharide which is broken down into glucose by the body in a series of stages. Amylase digests starch into maltose (a disaccharide). Maltase is the enzyme which breaks maltose into glucose.
Alpha amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch into it's individual glucose monosaccharide molecules.
glucose maltose and maltotriose
An amylase is an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar.
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.
Chewing, or mastication, uses the teeth to mechanically tear apart the food. Saliva contains amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starches in the mouth.
amylase breaks starch down and releases maltose from which maltase breaks it up into two glucose molecules
No, biological catalysts are called enzymes and they are proteins. The enzyme called "amylase" which is found in your saliva breaks down starch molecules into glucose monomers.
