What else can I help you with?
What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
starch can be broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme amylase
What tests are there to show that starch is broken down to a reducing sugar?
One common test to show that starch is broken down to a reducing sugar is the iodine test. When starch is present, iodine will turn the solution blue-black. As starch is broken down into reducing sugars like maltose or glucose, the solution will no longer turn blue-black with iodine. Another test is Benedict's test, where Benedict's solution will change color from blue to orange/brown in the presence of reducing sugars.
What is starch broken into sugar by?
They are Broken down by Amylase Enymes.
How would benedict's solution mixed with starch and saliva react?
Benedict's solution is used to test for the presence of reducing sugars. When mixed with starch and saliva, the reaction would depend on whether the starch in the solution has been broken down by the enzyme amylase present in saliva into simpler sugars. If starch is broken down into reducing sugars like maltose or glucose, then the Benedict's solution would change color from blue to green, yellow, orange, or red, indicating a positive result for reducing sugars.
What colour does starch turn when broken down?
Starch turns a deep blue-black color when broken down due to the presence of amylose and amylopectin reacting with iodine. This color change is used as a common indicator of the presence of starch in various experiments and tests.

What is the smallest subunit into which starch can be broken down?
monosaccharides (simple sugars such as glucose)
What type of food molecule is broken down to glucose by digestion?
Sugars and starches are broken down into glucose.
When you digest food starch is broken down to what molecule?
the startch component from plants is broken down to maltose and then maltose digested to glucose, the sugar found in your blood.
What is starch broken into sugar by?
They are Broken down by Amylase Enymes.
Can humans digest starch?
Yes, humans can digest starch. Starch is a complex carbohydrate that is broken down by enzymes in the digestive system into simpler sugars that can be absorbed by the body for energy.

How is starch different thana simple suger?
Starches are made of simple sugars, like glucos. Starches are broken down into simple sugars for the body to use.
What colour does starch turn when broken down?
Starch turns a deep blue-black color when broken down due to the presence of amylose and amylopectin reacting with iodine. This color change is used as a common indicator of the presence of starch in various experiments and tests.
What function does starch have on the body?
It provides a slow release of energy. It can be stored in the liver, muscles or tissues and extra starch is broken down into simple sugars and stored as fat.
What is the meaning of failure of iodine reagent to give a color with starch after incubation with saliva?
It means starch is no longer present; it is broken down by amylase into simple sugars in the saliva.
