What is the substrate for pancreatic amylase?

The substrate for pancreatic amylase is starch. Amylase breaks down starch into maltose, a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules. This breakdown process is important for the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the small intestine.


Can amylase break down cellulose?

The substrates of carbohydrase are carbohydrates. This gets further broken down into simple sugars. Hope this helps. :)


What is the substrate salivary amylase?

Starch is the substrate. Salivary amylase (like all amylases) is an enzyme that breaks down bonds between glucose residues in starch molecules. More specifically, the substrate for an amylase is an α-1,4-glycosidic bond. The products are sugars such as maltose and, in smaller amounts, glucose and maltotriose.
