What else can I help you with?
In an amylase experiment what is the substrate and the product?
The substrates of carbohydrase are carbohydrates. This gets further broken down into simple sugars. Hope this helps. :)
What are starch molecules broken up by?
Starch is typically broken down by the enzyme amylase pretty effectively. To check to see if the amylase is working properly, you can add the enzyme in a solution of starch and constantly check the concentrations of starch at certain intervals of time using a spectrometer.
What is the monomer of the polymer starch?
If starch is the polymer, then the monomer is glucose, which is a monosaccharide. Starch is a polysaccharide that is made up of glucose molecules.
These polysaccharide molecules called are made up of long chains of glucose molecules?
Carbohydrates are the molecules made of sugar repeats. Starch, cellulose and glycogen are classical example for the same. They can be digested back to the monomers by the enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis reaction such as cellulase or amylase.
Is starch a sugar?
No, starch is not sugar. But, both are carbohydrates.
What happens when enzymes are added to starch suspension?
Enzymes, such as amylase, break down starch molecules into simpler sugars like glucose. This process is called hydrolysis. The enzymes speed up the reaction, resulting in the starch suspension becoming thinner or turning into a clear solution as the starch is broken down.
What macromolecules are target by amylase?
Carbohydrates are targeted by amylase.
When amylase breaks down starch what does it release?
amylase breaks starch down and releases maltose from which maltase breaks it up into two glucose molecules
What disaccharide does the digestive enzyme amylase break down starch to?
Amylase helps the break down of starch into sugars (disaccharides). Amylase itself is not broken down. It is an enzyme and it doesn't enter into the reaction in any way. The disaccharide that is formed is sucrose, maltose or lactose.
What do amylase trypsin and lipase break down?
Amylase has a shap which allows it to wrap around and cut up starch. Lipase breaks down the fat to fatty acids and glycerol Amylase has a shap which allows it to wrap around and cut up starch. Lipase breaks down the fat to fatty acids and glycerol
In an amylase experiment what is the substrate and the product?
The substrates of carbohydrase are carbohydrates. This gets further broken down into simple sugars. Hope this helps. :)
How does NaCl affect the rate at which amylase hydrolyse starch?
NaCl can inhibit the activity of amylase by disrupting the enzyme's structure and altering its ability to bind to starch molecules. At high concentrations, NaCl can denature the enzyme, reducing its catalytic efficiency and slowing down the rate of starch hydrolysis.
What proteins that speed up certain chemical reaction?
Amylase helps speed up breakdown of starch molecules.
What protein speeds up certain chemical reactions?
Amylase helps speed up breakdown of starch molecules.
What is amylase and what type of organic compound does it breakdown?
Amylase is an enzyme that specifically speeds up the breakdown of amylose (aka starch)
How will the time taken for starch to digested in amylase be affected by the temperature?
The time taken for starch to be digested by amylase will decrease as the temperature increases up to an optimal range. This is because higher temperatures speed up enzyme activity. However, if the temperature exceeds the optimal range, the enzyme may denature, leading to a decrease in digestion time.
Is amylase a heteropolysaccharide?
No, amylase is not a heteropolysaccharide. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates such as starch into smaller sugars. Heteropolysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made up of different types of monosaccharides bonded together.
