Starch is broken down by enzymes in the body through a process called hydrolysis. This breaks starch molecules into smaller glucose units. Glucose is then used in the process of cellular respiration to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
the digestive enzymes turn the starch in to sugar!
liver,pancres,and the gallbladder
no, amylase in found in the mouth in saliva, it breaks down starch.
Yes they do. Enzymes change starch into glucose for cellular respiration.
Your mouth begins digesting starch. Saliva contains enzymes that help digest starch. Then when food enters your small intestine, other enzymes help digest starch. In your large intestine, bacteria help you digest starch.
The enzymes responsible for breaking down starch in the digestive system are amylase enzymes.

Starch is produced in the chloroplasts of plant cells, specifically in the stroma, which is the fluid inside the chloroplasts where various enzymes are located for starch synthesis. The process of starch production involves photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose, which is then polymerized into starch for storage.
Lipase is an enzyme specifically designed to catalyze the breakdown of lipids (fats) into fatty acids and glycerol, not carbohydrates like starch. Starch is a polysaccharide composed of glucose units, and its hydrolysis requires enzymes such as amylase, which specifically target the glycosidic bonds in starch. Therefore, lipase cannot produce starch because it lacks the necessary active site and function to interact with starch molecules.
enzymes
Enzymes are specialized proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions, and their effectiveness is often influenced by the specific organs in which they are produced. Different organs, such as the liver, pancreas, and stomach, produce enzymes tailored to their unique functions, such as digestion, metabolism, and detoxification. This specialization ensures that biochemical processes occur efficiently and in a regulated manner, highlighting the integral role of enzymes in maintaining homeostasis within the body. Overall, the distribution and function of enzymes across various organs are crucial for sustaining life.
