The enzyme amylase can break glycosidic linkages between glucose monomers only if the monomers are the α form Which of the following could amylase break down?
can break down glycogen and starch (ex: amylopectin or amylose). But not cellulose which is made from beta form glucose. Amylase, present in saliva, breaks down starch into maltose and simple sugars. The maltose is then broken down in the small intestine by maltase into glucose.
How does amylase break down starch into glucose?
In the mouth.
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.
What happens when enzymes are added to starch suspension?
The enzyme eg. Amylase will break down the starch into sugar.
When your body needs energy what does it break down in the liver and what does it release into the bloodstream?
The liver stores glycogen. When the body uses it for energy it converts the glycogen to glucose.

In order to obtain energy from glycogen and startch the body must do what?
It is broken down using enzymes, such as amylase, into glucose which then can be used in cell respiration.

What does the body break down to provide glucose for energy between meals?
glycogen
What stimulates the liver to break down glycogen into glucose?
Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that stimulates the liver to break down glycogen into glucose. By doing so, the endocrine system increases the blood sugar level.
Glycogen to glucose?
Glycogen is a storage of energy within the body, and glucose is the primary form of energy. So for example, if your body requires glucose to survive, when it has plentiful amounts. Your body converts glucose into glycogen for storage. However, if your body has low amount of glucose within it. Your body will rely on the storage of glycogen to break down into its components and use the glucose for fuel.
What happens when enzymes are added to starch suspension?
The enzyme eg. Amylase will break down the starch into sugar.
Where does CHO digestion begin?
In the mouth. Salivary Amylase breaks down alpha (1,4) bond of glycogen.
What are the three enzymes involved in the conversion of glycogen to glucose?
The process of "glycogenolysis" is the splitting of glycogen in the liver, which in turn produces glucose. Glucagon can be administered in emergency diabetic situations where sugar can't be taken orally.
When your body needs energy what does it break down in the liver and what does it release into the bloodstream?
The liver stores glycogen. When the body uses it for energy it converts the glycogen to glucose.
