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.

Do the small intestine make intestinal amylase?

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.

What organ produces salivary amylase?

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.


What produces enzymes that break down carbohydrates and proteins called?

Amylase for carbs Protease for protein


What enzyme produces maltose?

The enzyme that produces maltose is called maltase. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose from starches and other complex carbohydrates during digestion.


What produces the substance of amylase?

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.


Which salivary gland produces a serous secretion containing large amounts of salivary amylase?

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.


What are the uses of starch and iodine solutions in the determination of amylase activity?

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?

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.


Which organ produces amylase?

I think it is the Stomach, Salivary Glands, Pancreas, Small Intestine :)
