A digestive enzyme such as pancreatic amylase breaks down starch to what disaccharide studied in this laboratory?
Amylase hydrolyses starch into maltose.
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.
Why are infant formulas often contain mixtures of dextrins and maltose rather than starch?
Infant digestive systems are not fully developed so starches, which can cause gas and discomfort, are harder to digest than dextrins and maltose.
How is maltose digested?
Salivary amylase digests starch into maltose
What is the hydrolytic product of starch?
glucose maltose and maltotriose
A digestive enzyme such as pancreatic amylase breaks down starch to what disaccharide studied in this laboratory?
Amylase hydrolyses starch into maltose.
What is the role of the enzymes of the digestive system in the complete breakdown of starch?
amylase (starch) to maltose maltase maltose to glucose Hydrolysis (of) Glycosidic bonds
What compound is produced as a result of mixing amylase with an aqueous solution of starch?
Maltose. Water and Starch mixed with amylase makes maltose
What is maltose dextrin?
dextrine and maltose are byproduct of starch when starch is completely hydrolized it gives dextrin and maltose
Why must barley be malted before it can be used by the yeast?
to change the starch to maltose
Which enzyme converts starch into maltose?
Amylase catalyses starch into maltose.
Function of maltose?
The main function of maltose is to digest starch . Starch is commonly used in plants to store glucose and maltose will serve as the intermediary product of the digestion of starch.
Which digestive enzyme is produced by salivary glands and what does it do?
Amylase is produced in the salivary glands and it hydrolyses (breaks down with the addition of water) starch into maltose.
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.
Why are infant formulas often contain mixtures of dextrins and maltose rather than starch?
Infant digestive systems are not fully developed so starches, which can cause gas and discomfort, are harder to digest than dextrins and maltose.
How is maltose digested?
Salivary amylase digests starch into maltose
What happened to the starch solution after you have added saliva?
Saliva contains enzymes which catalyse the breakdown of starch to maltose and dextrin. If starch solution is treated with saliva, these simpler sugars will soon start to form, which means the mixture will give the Benedict's test.
