What enzyme acts on starches and turns it into sugar?
Amylase: Starch or amylose is a polysaccharide (carbohydrate) comprised of long chains of glucose molecules. The enzyme, amylase, hydrolyzes starch to dextrins (short chains of glucose molecules), maltose (disaccharide containing glucose) and glucose (sugar).
What in a plant cell breaks down sugar?
Actually, the enzyme amylase converts the starch to maltose. Enzyme maltase then converts maltose to glucose + glucose. Whilst enzyme sucrase converts sucrose to glucose + fructose and enzyme lactase converts lactose to glucose + galactose. So, glucose is actually the end product. Well, anyways, back to your question. The only reason they breakdown the sugars is because they need to use it up to take in the energy. They must be in their sinplest forms before the are absorbed and used.
What enzyme changes glucose to frutose?
The enzyme that breaks down sucrose to glucose and fructose is called sucrase.
During glycolosys glucose molecules is broken into?
In glycolysis, one 6-carbon glucose molecule is converted into two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules. If no oxygen is present then each of those two pyruvate molecules will be converted into 3-carbon lactate (lactic acid).
What would a diagram of an enzyme maltose combines with two glucose molecules to form moaltose?
it is called an enzymic maltose
What enzyme converts maltose to glucose?
Maltase
What is The enzyme which converts glucose into ethyl alcohol is?
Invertase
Which enzyme converts lactose to glucose and lactose?
Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose.
What enzyme converts starch to glucose in the mouth of humans?
salivary amylase
What enzyme converts glucose to ethanol during fermentation?
Zymase, found in yeast
Which is the enzyme which catalyses the reaction of glucose to gluconic acid?
Glucose oxidase that converts the carbonyl (aldehyde) carbon of glucose to a carboxylic acid.
The chemical process of building glycogen from glucose molecules?
well, you have those glucose molecules and then the enzyme "glycogen synthase" comes in and linkes the glucose molecules by a redox reaction in which water is formed

Which enzyme will break down starch into smaller monosaccharide molecules?
Alpha amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch into it's individual glucose monosaccharide molecules.
What converts insoluble starch to insoluble sugar?
Firstly what the end products of the starch converting to glucose are soluble. Starch is converted to alpha glucose monomers by the addition of water to the glycosidic bonds which join the glucose molecules together. This addition of water is a hydrolysis reaction and seperates the glucose molocules form the starch polymer. The enzyme amalayse is responsible for catalysing the break down of starch into SOLUBLE glucose molecules (monomers).
