Bacterial exoenzymes splits larger molecules into smaller ones , utilizing water in the process. The smaller molecules are then assimilated by the cell to be acted upon by endoenzymes to produce energy and cellular material

Extracellular enzymes convert substrate into product in bacteria's growing media, the product of catalyzed reaction is then being transported into bacteria's cell throw membrane transporter proteins, and used as a energy source.

· Exoenzymes: are secreted by bacteria into the surrounding environment in order to break down larger nutrient molecules so they may enter the bacterium.

· Endoenzymes: are inside the organism, some of the nutrients are further broken down to yield energy for driving various cellular functions, while others are used to form building blocks for the synthesis of cellular components.

How can you tell amylase is an exoenzyme and not an endoenzym?

Endoenzymes work inside a cell. Exoenzymes work outside a cell after being secreted. Amylase is an exoenzyme because it's function is to break down starches in the mouth and GI tract. If it were an endoenzyme it would not function in this capacity.
