Protein wouldn't digest.
An enzyme called a protease would digest proteins. Examples would be pepsin and trypsin.
No, amylase is not active at such a low temperature and would not be able to break down the starch into simpler sugars. Therefore, you would not expect to see any significant digestion of starch at zero degrees Celsius.
no
Because Pepsin is the active form of a protein manufactured in the stomach.
Carbohydrates are digested (hydrolyzed) by the enzyme amylase, found in saliva. However, saliva does not contain any protein-hydrolyzing enzymes. Enzymes are specific, meaning they will only hydrolyze the substrates (reactants) they were made to hydrolyze, so amylase will not hydrolyze proteins.
amylase has enzymes, but enzymes are not an organic compound. The four types of organic compounds would be lipids, nucleic acids carbohydrates and protein. Your body makes enzymes and amylase, and anything your body make is a protein. Therefore your answer is a protein.
salivary and pancreatic amylase, dissaccharideases, lipase
Amylase is responsible for the digestion of starches in the body. If a mutation occurred in the genes coding for the production of amylase, this would interfere with the body's ability to digest starches and other complex carbohydrates (which begins in the mouth with enzymes from the salivary glands).
Because amylase, being an enzyme, is a protein, these molecules will not give a positive result in testing with Benedict's solution. This reagent is devised for testing sugar solutions (like sucrose), which MAY be formed at the amylolytic breakdown of starch (amylose, amylopectin). This breakdown can NOT occur when boiled enzym molecules are used (because of inactivation by denaturation of the protein structures).
If salivary amylase was not present or didn't work properly, it would impede the breakdown of starches in the mouth, making it harder for the body to digest carbohydrates. This could lead to poor nutrient absorption and possibly result in digestive issues like bloating and discomfort.
To digest protein more efficiently, the protein needs to be combined with an acid. For example, when eating a steak, eat it with a vinaigrette on a salad or with a wine.
