Why is amylase important?
because it contain certain enzymes which helps in the breaking down of complex sugars into simple sugars
What breaks complex sugars into simple sugars and proteins down to amino acids?
The enzyme amylase breaks the complex sugars into simple sugars. The enzyme pepsin in the stomach breake the peptide bond to get peptides. The enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin from pancreas break the peptides to amino acids, in the small intestine.
Do viruses need simple sugars for survival?
no. Inside a virus, there are only mostly genetic materials and enzymes. It doesn't have any organel and is too simple to survive, or even to digest simple sugar on it's own. To replicate, it gets into a living cell and hijack it. So virus doesn't need simple sugar as it's simply hijacker, but the host cell may need it
Summarize the differences between simple sugars double sugars and complex sugars?
simple sugars are the sugars that are bad for the body and then the double are the sugars that are twice as bad and takes out more energy during the breakdown of the body . complex sugars are pretty self explanatory . :D Also, simple sugars are sugars that the body can use directly, while complex sugars take along time to be broken down.
Can monosaccharide be hydrolyzed?
Monosaccharides are simple sugars. They are carbohydrates and one class of carbs is simple sugars and the 2 parts of simple sugars are mono- and di- saccharides
Are monosacchrides enzymes?
No, they are simple sugars, like glucose.
What does the mouth digest?
The enzymes in the saliva in the human mouth starts digestion on starches, turning them into sugars.
Do enzymes break down into simple sugars?
No, protein is broken down into amino acids. Simple sugars are only formed when carbohydrates are digested.
Why is amylase important?
because it contain certain enzymes which helps in the breaking down of complex sugars into simple sugars
Why should you try to dissolve food before testing for simple sugars?
stuff like crackers has starch in it. the enzymes in your mouth break down starch (in about 5 inutes) into simple sugars.
What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
starch can be broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme amylase
What does pancreatic juices do?
This fluid contains enzymes that break down sugars and starches into simple sugars, fats into fatty acids and glycerol, and proteins into amino acids.
What does saliva do to an apple?
Enzymes in saliva will start to break down the apple such as amylase which will break carhohydates into simple sugars
What breaks complex sugars into simple sugars and proteins down to amino acids?
The enzyme amylase breaks the complex sugars into simple sugars. The enzyme pepsin in the stomach breake the peptide bond to get peptides. The enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin from pancreas break the peptides to amino acids, in the small intestine.
How do enzymes help your body function?
Enzymes help break down complicated proteins and other chemicals such as starches, sugars etc found in food. The simple chemicals are then more readily absorbed by the intestinal walls.
Chemical digestion is possible because of certain kinds of proteins called what?
The answer would be "Enzymes".The key digesting enzymes include lipases (for lipids), proteases (for proteins). Other enzymes important is amylases, which digest certain types of sugars.
Do viruses need simple sugars for survival?
no. Inside a virus, there are only mostly genetic materials and enzymes. It doesn't have any organel and is too simple to survive, or even to digest simple sugar on it's own. To replicate, it gets into a living cell and hijack it. So virus doesn't need simple sugar as it's simply hijacker, but the host cell may need it
