Starch is found in plants as a energy store. They make simple sugars such as glucose when there is need of energy. Starch uses the protein beta amylase to be degraded in to simple sugar molecules.

What Starches are to simple sugars as proteins are to?

Proteins are to amino acids. Just like starches are broken down into simple sugars, proteins are broken down into their building blocks - amino acids - during digestion. These amino acids are then used by the body for various functions, including building and repairing tissues.


What produces juice that travels to the small intestine and digests proteins starches and fats?

The pancreas produces digestive enzymes and bicarbonate that are released into the small intestine. These enzymes help to break down proteins, starches, and fats into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body.


What classes of biological macromolecules to which enzymes and starches belong?

Enzymes belong to the class of proteins, which are biological macromolecules. Starches belong to the class of carbohydrates, another type of biological macromolecule.


What does an enzyme involved with digestion of proteins or starches do?

Any enzyme helps to break down large compounds into smaller ones at a fast rate. Proteins are too big to be used by a tiny cell until it is much smaller so it is broken down into amino acids. The same happens to the very large carbohydrates, they are broken down into simple sugars.
