Both the salivary glands in the head and the pancreas in the abdomen. The salivary glands produce salivary amylase that is released into te mouth where it acts on the carbohydrate. The pancreases produces pancreatic amylase which is released into the duodenum of the small intestine.
The enzyme that produces maltose is called maltase. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose from starches and other complex carbohydrates during digestion.
The secretions of the salivary gland begin the digestion of carbohydrates in the mouth by breaking down starches into smaller sugar molecules, primarily maltose. Saliva also contains enzymes like amylase that help with the initial digestion process before food reaches the stomach.
Let me guess, this question is for a lab write up in your microbiology class? When your bacteria, probably Bacillus cereus, act on starch they produce glucose. You have probably already done this lab but the bacteria will ferment the glucose. E.coli does not hydrolyze the starch because it does not produce amylase (which break down the starch into simple sugars).
Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into simple sugars like glucose and maltose. It is produced in the pancreas and salivary glands and plays a crucial role in the digestion of carbohydrates in the human body.
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.
Amylase
The salivary glands in the mouth which break down starches.
Yes. The pancreas produces another form of amylase called pancreatic amylase that acts on polymers of glucose. This enxyme is secreted inot the duodenum of the small intestine.
Salivary glands
The salivary glands, specifically the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands, produce salivary amylase. Salivary amylase is an enzyme that helps break down carbohydrates in the mouth, starting the process of digestion. It primarily acts on starches, converting them into simpler sugars like maltose.
Amylase for carbs Protease for protein
The enzyme that produces maltose is called maltase. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose from starches and other complex carbohydrates during digestion.
Salivary glands and pancreas produce the enzyme amylase. It is released into the mouth from the salivary glands and into the small intestine from the pancreas to help break down carbohydrates into simpler sugars.
The parotid gland produces a serous secretion containing large amounts of salivary amylase, an enzyme that helps break down carbohydrates in the mouth during digestion.
Starch solution is used as a substrate to test for the presence of amylase enzyme activity. When amylase breaks down starch, it produces smaller sugars that can be detected using iodine solution. Iodine reacts with starch to form a blue-black color, allowing the visual detection of the breakdown of starch by amylase.
The secretions of the salivary gland begin the digestion of carbohydrates in the mouth by breaking down starches into smaller sugar molecules, primarily maltose. Saliva also contains enzymes like amylase that help with the initial digestion process before food reaches the stomach.
I think it is the Stomach, Salivary Glands, Pancreas, Small Intestine :)
