Amylase, or Amylopsin
Into the duodenum, the first short part of the small intestine.
The pancreatic enzyme that acts on glycogen and starches is amylase. Amylase breaks down these complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars such as maltose and glucose, which can be absorbed by the body for energy.
Maltase acts on maltose, which is a disaccharide made up of two glucose molecules linked together. Maltase breaks down maltose into two individual glucose molecules by catalyzing the hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond between them. This enzyme is found in the small intestine where it helps in the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
Amylase is an enzyme which acts on starch.Amylase breaking it down to sugar.
the enzyme ptylin or some amylase and it converts starch to maltose
Amylase is an enzyme which acts on starch, breaking it down to sugar/glucose.
Pancreatic lipase (or steapsin) is an enzyme secreted by the pancreas and it acts in the small intestine. Working best at a pH level of 8, it breaks lipid molecules into glycerol and fatty acids.
liver produces BILE and pancreas acts as an exocrine gland by producing pancreatic juice
Carbohydrates: Salivary amylase - enzyme in the saliva which breaks starch and complex chains down. Pancreatic amylase - enzyme produced in the pancreas which reduces carbs to disaccharides. Intestinal amylase - enzyme produced in the intestine of the small intestine that finalises breakdown into glucose. Protein: Pepsin - enzyme in the stomach that reduces protein into polypeptides Pancreatic trypsin and protease - enzymes that finalises breakdown of polypeptides into amino acids to be absorbed. Lipids (Fats): Bile - NOT an enzyme - produced in the liver to emulsify (break into smaller pieces) fat into smaller droplets Pancreatic lipase - enzyme that finalises breakdown of fat into fatty acids and glycerol.
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
Bicarbonate ions give pacreatic juice more Alkaline pH (7.1-8.2), which inactivates pepsin from the stomach, creating an optimal environment for enzymes in SI.
Ascorbic acid from lemon juice act as a preservative; the reaction between polyphenol oxidase (an enzyme) with oxygen from air is stopped.
