alpha-amylase
salivary amylase
Polysaccharides such as starch.
polysaccharides
the lipase enzyme :)
Yes?
speed up chemical reation....breaking down food
Alpha amylase is an enzyme that breaks down long chain carbohydrates in the starch chain during digestion. Technically speaking, it hydrolyses alpha-bonds of large alpha-linked polysaccharides like starch and glycogen, producing glucose and maltose. It is most present in the saliva, where digestion actually begins, and pancreatic juice.
No
Trypsin completes the digestion of proteins. Pepsin in the stomach starts the digestion of proteins.
Polysaccharides are broken down in the body through the process of digestion. Enzymes in the digestive system break down polysaccharides into smaller sugar molecules, such as glucose, which can then be absorbed by the body for energy.
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is pepsin. Pepsin is released by the mucosal lining of the stomach.
the answer is pepsin.
