What else can I help you with?
Would chemical digestion begin earlier on a potato or butter?
potato amalayze- an enzyme that is in saliva to break down starch into sugar- would break down the potato in your mouth!
Contains an enzyme that helps break down starches?
I think you are referring to Amylase, an enzyme in saliva that begins to break down starches into their constituent sugars within seconds of you chewing them up in your mouth.
Why does liver break down H2O2 faster than potato?
The liver contains higher levels of catalase enzyme, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen. Potatoes also contain catalase, but in lower levels compared to the liver. This difference in enzyme concentration causes the liver to break down H2O2 faster than potatoes.
What can the enzyme amylase break down?
The enzyme amylase can break down starch to maltose.
Do potato cells have catalase?
Yes, potato cells do contain the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an antioxidant enzyme present in many living organisms, including plants like potatoes, where it helps break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
What enzyme break down of protein to peptides?
peptidase enzyme
What enzyme begins the breakdown?
Lipase
Where does carbohydrate digestion begin and how does this digestion occur?
Carbohydrate digestion starts with the mastication (chewing of the mouth). There, the salivary amylase begins to break down the carbs into monosaccharides. Protein digestion begins in the stomach. Pepsin comes into play here and various enzyme proteases do as well
How does the human body break down starches?
The body uses enzymes called amylase to break down starches. This enzyme is structured to break down the starch and no other enzyme can perform this function.
Which enzyme break down lipids?
Lipases
When should pectic enzyme be added to mead during the brewing process?
Pectic enzyme should be added to mead before fermentation begins to help break down pectin in the fruit and improve clarity and flavor.
How do horses break down cellulose?
Horses break down cellulose by use of enzyme cellulase.
