What enzyme is responsible for breaking down fat in the body?
The enzyme responsible for breaking down fat in the body is called lipase.
What enzymes are responsible for breaking down starch in the digestive system?
The enzymes responsible for breaking down starch in the digestive system are amylase enzymes.
How does the enzyme break down starch in the digestive process?
The enzyme breaks down starch in the digestive process by breaking the bonds between the glucose molecules in the starch, converting it into simpler sugars that can be easily absorbed by the body.
What is the name of the enzyme that breaks down starch?
The enzyme that breaks down starch is called amylase.
Is amylase organic?
yes it is since it is an enzyme that is made by the human body to break down starch
What enzyme breaks down rice?
An amylase is an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar.
What does pancreatic amylase react or act on?
Amylase is the enzyme responsible for breaking down starch.
Which glands help digest starch?
Glands aren't responsible directly for the breaking down of starch. The enzyme that is responsible for the digestion of starch is amylase. This enzyme is produced by the salivary glands in our mouth - salivary amylase. It's also made by the pancreas - pancreatic amylase.
What enzyme is responsible for breaking down fat in the body?
The enzyme responsible for breaking down fat in the body is called lipase.
What enzymes are responsible for breaking down starch in the digestive system?
The enzymes responsible for breaking down starch in the digestive system are amylase enzymes.
What are amylases?
Amylase is an enzyme which acts on starch, breaking it down to sugar/glucose.
What part of the body has enzyme that begin the process of breaking down starch molecules?
The salivary glands have an enzyme called amylase that begins the breakdown of starch.
How does the enzyme break down starch in the digestive process?
The enzyme breaks down starch in the digestive process by breaking the bonds between the glucose molecules in the starch, converting it into simpler sugars that can be easily absorbed by the body.
An enzyme that breaks down starch will also break down proteins?
Proteases are enzymes which break down proteins. Each enzyme can only break down one substance (they are specific to one substrate). This is because their active site has a specific shape to fit a protein and will not fit a starch molecule.
What is the effect of hydrochloric acid on the saliva starch suspension reaction?
Hydrochloric acid denatures the enzyme amylase present in saliva, which is responsible for breaking down starch into maltose. This results in a decreased rate of starch digestion in the saliva starch suspension reaction.
What enzyme is responsible for hydrolysis of starch with saliva?
The enzyme responsible for hydrolyzing starch in the mouth is called salivary amylase. Salivary amylase breaks down starch into maltose and dextrins, which are simpler sugars that can be further digested in the small intestine.
What kind of enzyme breaks down carbohydrates?
Starch is the polysaccharide which is broken down into glucose by the body in a series of stages. Amylase digests starch into maltose (a disaccharide). Maltase is the enzyme which breaks maltose into glucose.
