Enzyme in saliva?
There are two. Salivary amylase is an enzyme that begins the enzymatic breakdown of starches and lingual lipase which begins the enzymatic breakdown of lipids.
What part of the body has enzymes that begins the process of breaking down starch molecules?
The salivary glands have an enzyme called amylase that begins the breakdown of starch.
Chemical breakdown of protein begins in the stomach due to the presence of acid?
Hcl - hydrocholoric acid
What part of the body has enzymes that begin the process of breaking down starch molecules?
The salivary glands have an enzyme called amylase that begins the breakdown of starch.
What enzyme catalyzes the digestion of starch?
Lactase catalyzes the breakdown of lactose. It would probably not catalyze the breakdown of starch because enzymes are SPECIFIC and are typically named for the substrate that it acts on. Amylase is the enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of starch. (Named so because in plants, starch is stored in the amyloplasts)

What enzyme begins the breakdown?
Lipase
Which part of the digestive system begins the breakdown of starch to suger?
amylase enzyme
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of protein in foods?
The enzyme which breaks down proteins (polypeptides) is called protease.
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of protein in food?
The enzyme which breaks down proteins (polypeptides) is called protease.
Which digestive enzyme begins chemical digestion of protein?
Protease
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of protein foods?
The enzyme which breaks down proteins (polypeptides) is called protease.
What does proteins breakdown into?
protein breaks down into pectiducts from the trypsin enzyme, then it is further broken down by pectin enzyme into amino acids
Which enzyme the hydrolyzes protein?
Amylase hydrolyzes carbohydrates, lipases breakdown lipids/fats, and proteases break down protein.
What percentage of protein is hydrolyzed in your mouth?
None, most of the breakdown begins in the stomach.
What part of the body has enzyme that begin the process of breaking down starch molecules?
The salivary glands have an enzyme called amylase that begins the breakdown of starch.
What organ is the hydrolysis of protein initiated?
Breakdown of proteins begins in the stomach.
