Amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch into sugars.
no, amylase is for carbohydrates. For proteins it's protease :)
No, amylase hydrolyzes amylose, a carbohydrate.
Amylase breaks down starch, and therefore the product of digestion is maltose.
digestion
Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates into smaller molecules like sugars during the process of digestion.
Maltose
The enzyme produced by the salivary glands that initiates carbohydrate digestion in the mouth is called salivary amylase. It breaks down starches into smaller sugars like maltose and dextrin to begin the process of carbohydrate digestion.
Digestion begins in your mouth. Starch is digested (by salivary amylase) into maltose.
Production amylase
alpha-amylase
Amylase is an enzyme that is made in the mouth of humans. It is specifically found in saliva and is used in digestion.
Yes, amylase is an enzyme that effectively breaks down starch into simpler sugars during the process of digestion.
