No.Shortly, maltose is a disaccharide formed from 2 glucose molecules attached to each other with an alpha 1-4 glycosidic bond, and maltase is an enzyme - biological catalyst that brakes maltose molecule to 2 gcucose molecules.

What is the site production of maltase?

Maltase, an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose into glucose, is primarily produced in the small intestine. Specifically, it is secreted by the brush border cells lining the intestinal villi. Additionally, maltase can also be found in yeast and certain bacterial species, where it plays a role in carbohydrate metabolism.


What are the reactants and products of carbohydrate breakdown?

The reactants of carbohydrate breakdown are carbohydrates (such as glucose) and oxygen. The products are carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration.


What does maltase produce?

Two glucose, because maltose is two glucose join together


What is maltase and sucrase?

Maltase and sucrase are enzymes that play crucial roles in carbohydrate digestion. Maltase catalyzes the breakdown of maltose, a disaccharide, into two glucose molecules, while sucrase (also known as sucrose) breaks down sucrose, another disaccharide, into glucose and fructose. Both enzymes are produced in the small intestine and help the body efficiently absorb sugars from food. Their activity is essential for maintaining proper energy levels and metabolic functions.


What is other name for maltase?

Another name for maltase is alpha-glucosidase.


What is substrate of maltase?

maltase is found in intestinal juice and hydrolyzes maltose to glucose. Substrate = maltose Product = glucose


Difference between maltose and cellulose?

difference between cellulose and maltose is that cellulose is (chiefly in technical texts) while maltose is (carbohydrate) a disaccharide, c12h22o11 formed from the digestion of starch by amylase; is converted to glucose by maltase.


What conclusion can be drawn from the experiment when amylase and maltase were added to a maltose solution?

Maltase digests only maltose


Is maltase a lipid?

No, maltase is not a lipid. Maltase is an enzyme that helps break down maltose, a type of sugar, into its component glucose molecules. Lipids are a different type of biomolecule that includes fats and oils.


The specific function of the enzyme maltase?

Maltase is a biological catalyst used in digestion. Once starch has been broken down to maltose,maltase continues the chemical digestion and breaks the maltose down to glucose, ie a soluble, smaller molecule that can easily be absorbed.


What is salivary maltase?

You might be referring to salivary amylase. Maltase is an enzyme produced by duodenum that breaks down the sugar maltose into glucose. Salivary amylase is an enzyme located in your saliva (there is also pancreatic amylase found in the pancreas). This enzyme breaks down carbohydrates (more specifically starch) which then can be absorbed in the small intestine.
