Where are enzymes that break down starch found?
Protines make up enzymes that break down starch, as well as other large moleculse, this process is called hydrolysis. Most enzymes end in "-ase" and work only in specific reactions. Polysaccharides such as glycogen are formed by linking many monosaccharides. The most common polysaccharides are starch, glycogen, and cellulose. All of these are polymers of glucose. They differ by the type of bond found between glucose molecules. Starch is the storage form of glucose found in plants; glycogen is the storage form in animals. Most glycogen in humans is stored in the liver and muscle. Human saliva also contains an enzyme called amylase. This enzyme helps to turn starch into a sugar called maltose. When your food gets into the small intestine, more amylase is made by the pancreas and this turns the remaining starch into maltose. Another enzyme (maltase) turns all this maltose into glucose. Glucose is then absorbed into the blood.
How is energy in starch molecules eventually released inside a muscle cell in your leg?
The first step is that the Enzymes turn starch into glucose. not sure of the rest hope this helps it probably wont though :)
What are the steps involved in breaking down of food?
By enzymes in your body fluds
What is the main use of enzymes in paper industry?
The use of enzymes in paper industry :enzymes break starch to lower its viscosity that helps (aids)in making paper .thank you so much this is correct really you can get 3out of3.
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.
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 makes cooked chewed rice tastes sweet?
The saliva has enzymes that helps breakdown the starch and glucose that makes it sweet.
What is the structures that break up food into small parts?
The are enzymes. The are small particles that break up the starch in your intestines! Hope this helps
What is the purpose of Ptyalin?
Ptyalin is the chemical in human saliva that helps break down food in your mouth.

What does saliva contain to break down molecules?
um i think it kinda squishes it somehow Saliva contains an enzyme which helps to facilitate the digestive process .The enzymes will break down the fats and starches to a molecular level.
Substance that contains a starch-splitting enzyme?
The substance that contains a starch-splitting enzyme is the pancreatic juice and saliva. The two types of enzymes that break down starch are pancreatic amylase and salivary amylase.
