What is the name of the enzyme that digests starch?
AMYLASE
Does saliva have amylase in it?
Saliva contains amylase, it begins the breakdown of starch into sugars
What macromolecules are target by amylase?
Carbohydrates are targeted by amylase.
What macromolecules targeted by amylase?
Carbohydrates are targeted by amylase.
Does the optimum pH of salivary amylase differ from plant amylase?
Yes. Some plants are found to have amylase as well, such as those plants with high levels of starch, and they are the same types of amylase.
What are the effects of boiling water on salivary amylase?
Salivary amylase is an enzyme, and like almost all enzymes, high temperature will denature it. The higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy molecules will have. At a certain point, all that movement disrupts the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure of the enzyme. If the active site is no longer in the proper shape, it cannot attach to its substrate (amylose) and aid in its hydrolysis. Therefore, boiled salivary amylase will not hydrolyze amylose into disaccharides.
What effects are there to boiling salt?
At the boiling point salt become a gas.
If your mouth produces amylase and your stomach is highly acidic what happens to the amylase when you swallow?
Amylase is an enzyme, which is a type of protein. Protein denatures when temperature or pH (acidity) is changed. for example, amylase will no longer digest starch if you put it in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. in the stomach, hydrochloric acid is produced by the stomach lining to digest food. this acid will denature the amylase when the swallowed food mixed with amylase from the mouth enters the stomach.
What is your understanding of effects of pressure changes on the boiling point of a liquid?
The effects of changing pressure on the boiling point of a liquid is that the water becomes temperature becomes higher. The boiling point will continue to rise depending on the amount of pressure applied.
What enzyme dissolves starch?
Amylase enzymes.
What effects do increased temperature have on the activity of salivary amylase?
Increase the temperature too much and this protein will denature and stop working.
What are the effects of boiling Protein?
On boiling, most of the proteins coagulate at temperatures above 70°C. An example is the boiled egg.
What is the name of the enzyme that digests starch?
AMYLASE
How do you overcome the disadvantages of starch indicator?
All the alpha amylase molecules should rupture . Boil water and then add to the boiling water required starch. Make sure that the starch is alpha and not beta amylase. Use freshly prepared starch solution for iodometric titrations. --unnikrishnan
Is ptylin an alpha amylase or beta amylase?
Ptyalin is an alpha-amylase. It is the alpha-amylase found in saliva
What is effect of heat on different liquids?
Effects are: boiling or thermal decompostion.
What dissolves starch?
amylase:) amylase:)
