Why is that enzymes that digests starch will not act upon the sugar sucrose?
Slm333
Starch is composed of many molecules of saccharides linked together.
The enzymes that separate those basic elements from each other (alpha-amylase and beta-amylase) cannot alter them anymore.
These enzymes work only on the bonds between the glucose, fructose and sucrose elements of a chain, not on the elements themselves.

What is a simple sugar glucose sucrose ribose starch all of the above?

What enzyme digests table sugar?
The nutrients found in milk are digested by many different enzymes. Lipase acts on the fat molecules, while proteases break down protein. The main carbohydrate in milk is lactose, which is digested using the enzymes lactase.
What substances does the enzymes in saliva change starch into?
it contains enzymes which break the starch down to sugar
What happens to starch before it is used for germination?
It has to be turned into a sugar, such as sucrose.
Is starch is present in sugarcane?
is starch present in sugarcane
What does amylase break starch molecules into?
Amylase digests starch into a smaller carbohydrate called maltose.
Name the three disaccharides and the enzymes that break them down into monosaccharides?
sucrose - common table sugar = glucose + fructoselactose - major sugar in milk = glucose + galactosemaltose - product of starch digestion = glucose + glucose
What is the major structural form of sugar in the plant?
sucrose is the storage form of glucose in leaves... and it may also starch.
