What is the name of the enzyme that digests starch?
The enzyme that digests starch is called amylase. It breaks down starch into smaller carbohydrate molecules such as maltose and glucose for absorption in the body.
What is the name of the enzyme in saliva and what compound is produced when this enzyme acts on starch?
the enzyme ptylin or some amylase and it converts starch to maltose
What is the substance that breaks down starch into sugar?
Maltase
What is meant when catalase is described as an 'intracellular enzyme'?
An intracellular enzyme is an enzyme that functions inside the cells of an organism, specifically within cell structures like organelles. Catalase is an intracellular enzyme that is primarily found in the peroxisomes of cells, where it helps break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
Does saliva have amylase in it?
Yes, saliva contains amylase, which is an enzyme responsible for breaking down starches into simpler sugars like maltose and dextrin. Amylase in saliva begins the digestion process of carbohydrates in the mouth.
What can the enzyme amylase break down?
The enzyme amylase can break down starch to maltose.
What enzyme dissolves starch?
Amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch into maltose, a type of sugar. It is found in saliva in the mouth and in the pancreas.
Is Amylase a enzyme or Hormone?
It's an enzyme.
Why does the enzyme salivary amylase will act on starch but not on protein?
Because the enzyme salivary amylase lacks protein.
Where is the enzyme amylase created?
Amylase is produced by the exocrine pancreas .
The enzyme amylase un zips or winds the DNA strand?
The enzyme helicase unzips the DNA strand not amylase.
What is the name of the enzyme that digests starch?
The enzyme that digests starch is called amylase. It breaks down starch into smaller carbohydrate molecules such as maltose and glucose for absorption in the body.
What is amylase do?
Amylase is an enzyme which acts on starch.Amylase breaking it down to sugar.
What is the name of the enzyme in saliva and what compound is produced when this enzyme acts on starch?
the enzyme ptylin or some amylase and it converts starch to maltose
Differentiate extra and intracellular enzymes?
An extracellular enzyme is one which reacts outside of the cell. An intracellular enzyme is one which reacts inside of the cell.
What is the enzyme produced in mouth?
Salivary amylase is produced in the mouth so that it can digest carbohydrate
What is the enzyme that digests starch?
The enzyme that digests starch is called amylase. Amylase is produced in both the saliva (salivary amylase) and the pancreas (pancreatic amylase) and breaks down starch into smaller sugar molecules like maltose.
