What else can I help you with?
What macro molecule are targeted by amylase?
carbohydrates
Is a protein a carbohydrate?
not at all protiens are totally different from carbohydrates an enzyme called amylase which breaks carbohydrates is a protien
Which enzyme is found in mouth?
salivary amylase
What macromolecules are present in saliva?
Saliva contains water, electrolytes, mucus, enzymes (such as amylase for breaking down carbohydrates), and antibacterial compounds. These macromolecules help with digestion, lubrication, and protection within the oral cavity.
What breaks down macromolecules using digestive enzymes?
Well, you have asked a very large, yet incomplete question. There are 4 macromolecules which make up all biological systems at the cellular level. These include proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acid. Each type of macromolecule serves a different function, as do different forms of the same type. Carbohydrates, which are natural sugar compounds, are used first by the body as fast energy. Lipids are stored as energy in the form of fatty acids (when you don't use consumed energy, you store and build up fatty acids). Proteins are used last, proteins are also associated with many functions. Nucleic acid macromolecules constitute DNA and RNA, which together hold genetic material and code for the development of life forms. As far enzymes go, there are many that digest different macromolecules in many ways. I am sorry, there is simply no short answer to your question, you would do well to buy multiple biology textbooks and get down with them. However I believe the first enzyme that acts on consumed macromolecules is Amylase, Amylase exists in your saliva and breaks down starch (a carbohydrate) to glucose molecules in order to be converted to energy through aerobic respiration. Amylase also acts on starch throughout the body. Good luck learning about the magical living world.
What macromolecules are targeted amylase?
Carbohydrates are targeted by amylase.
What macromolecules targeted by amylase?
Carbohydrates are targeted by amylase.
What macromolecules are target by amylase?
Carbohydrates are targeted by amylase.
What macro molecule are targeted by amylase?
carbohydrates
Is a protein a carbohydrate?
not at all protiens are totally different from carbohydrates an enzyme called amylase which breaks carbohydrates is a protien
Is salivary amylase mechanical or chemical digestion?
no, amylase is for carbohydrates. For proteins it's protease :)
What produces enzymes that break down carbohydrates and proteins called?
Amylase for carbs Protease for protein
Which enzyme is found in mouth?
salivary amylase
What are three digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates fats and proteins?
carbohydrase lipase and protease amylase
What macromolecules are present in saliva?
Saliva contains water, electrolytes, mucus, enzymes (such as amylase for breaking down carbohydrates), and antibacterial compounds. These macromolecules help with digestion, lubrication, and protection within the oral cavity.
What do pancreatic enzymes digest?
The pancreatic enzymes amylase, trypsin and lipase digest proteins, fatty acids, carbohydrates and starches.
Does amylase digest protein in the human digestive system?
No, amylase does not digest protein in the human digestive system. Amylase is an enzyme that specifically breaks down carbohydrates into simpler sugars. Proteins are broken down by other enzymes such as pepsin and trypsin.
