Someone answer my question!

Say 'please' next time.

Since you omitted to mention the particular enzyme involved, the best I can do is say that proteins are made of amino acid molecules. When proteins are degraded by enzymes, you get oligopeptides (smaller proteins) or amino acids.

Protein into amino acids by enzymes and hydrochloric acid!


What does protein break into?

I'm assuming you're talking about digestion. Proteins are broken down by enzyme pepsin in the gastric juice in stomach to form polypeptides. Proteins are also broken down by enzyme trypsin in the pancreatic juice in the duodenum to form polypeptides. Polypeptides are then broken down by enzyme erepsin in intestinal juice in small intestines (ileum) to form amino acids.

Yes, amylase can break down glycogen.


How is a protein broken down into smaller molecules?

If you mean digestion, then it is amino-acids but in case of urinalysis it should be urea.


Will an enzyme that breaks down starch work on an enzyme that breaks down protein?

Saliva contains amylase, which breaks down complex sugars such as starch. However starch can't ever be broken down into proteins. They are fundamentally different, starch is a polysaccharide while protein is a polypeptide.

How does amylase break down protein in the digestive system?

Amylase does not break down protein in the digestive system. Amylase is an enzyme that specifically breaks down carbohydrates into smaller molecules like sugars. Proteins are broken down by enzymes called proteases.


What enzymes break down protein and fat?

Proteins are broken down by enzymes called proteases, such as pepsin and trypsin. Fats are broken down by enzymes called lipases, such as pancreatic lipase. These enzymes help to break down proteins and fats into smaller molecules for absorption in the body.
