What is a enzyme found in pancreatic juices?
An enzyme found in pancreatic juices is amylase, trypsin, and lipase.
How many kinds of amylase?
There are three main types of amylase: salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase, and fungal amylase. Salivary amylase is produced in the mouth, while pancreatic amylase is produced in the pancreas. Fungal amylase is produced by fungi and is often used in commercial applications such as in the food industry.
A digestive enzyme such as pancreatic amylase breaks down starch to what disaccharide studied in this laboratory?
Pancreatic amylase breaks down starch into maltose, which is a disaccharide consisting of two glucose molecules.
Where is pancreatic amylase made?
Pancreatic amylase is produced in the pancreas, specifically in the acinar cells. It is then released into the small intestine where it helps to break down carbohydrates into simple sugars for absorption.
Why does salivary and pancreatic secretions produce the same enzyme amylase?
Salivary and pancreatic secretions both produce the enzyme amylase because they play complementary roles in the digestion of carbohydrates. Salivary amylase begins the breakdown of starches into simpler sugars in the mouth, while pancreatic amylase continues this process in the small intestine, where the majority of carbohydrate digestion occurs. The production of amylase in both locations ensures efficient carbohydrate digestion throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This redundancy allows for a seamless transition of digestion from the oral cavity to the intestines.
What are the functions of amylase?
pancreatic amylase catalyses the hydrolysis of starch to maltose.

Fungal amylase is produced by fungi and is often used in commercial applications such as in the food industry.
What are the end products of the action of pancreatic amylase on starch?
Pancreatic Amylase converts starch into.............MALTOSE!! and other byproducts.
What is the substrate for pancreatic amylase?
The substrate for pancreatic amylase is starch. Amylase breaks down starch into maltose, a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules. This breakdown process is important for the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the small intestine.
Which pancreatic enzymes acts on glycogen and starches?
The pancreatic enzyme that acts on glycogen and starches is amylase. Amylase breaks down these complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars such as maltose and glucose, which can be absorbed by the body for energy.
What pH does pancreatic amylase work best?
6.9
What are seven enzymes involved in the digestive system?
salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase, intestinal enzyme, intestinal peptidase, chymotrypsin, pancreatic lipase, bile from gall bladder
A digestive enzyme such as pancreatic amylase breaks down starch to what disaccharide studied in this laboratory?
Pancreatic amylase breaks down starch into maltose, which is a disaccharide consisting of two glucose molecules.
What is the difference between salivary amylase and pancreatic pytlin?
Salivary amylase is an enzyme produced in the salivary glands that helps break down carbohydrates in the mouth, while pancreatic ptyalin is an older term for salivary amylase and is no longer used in modern scientific literature. Both refer to the same enzyme.
The enzyme from pancreatic juice that acts on sugar is?
Amylase, or Amylopsin
Pancreatic amylase does not get to the small intestine via the?
cystic duct
