To absorb something in the blood the molecule has to be small and dis solvable. Glucose is very small and can be easily absorbed in the blood but starch molecules are very big. Really many glucose molecules put together form a starch molecule. Be cause starch is so big the enzymes have to cut it down so that it can be digested into the body. This is why starch molecules have to be broken down into glucose for digestion in animals.
Bile and Amylase are the two enzymes that break down starch into sugars.
Amylase is the enzyme that specifically breaks down starch into smaller sugar molecules like maltose and glucose.
The enzymes in saliva, specifically amylase, break down starch into maltose and dextrins through the process of hydrolysis.
Starch is a carbohydrate and does not directly break down fat. However, when you consume starch, your body converts it into glucose for energy. If you consume more starch (calories) than your body needs, the excess glucose can be stored as fat.
Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into maltose, a type of sugar. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach also helps break down starch into simpler sugars during the digestion process.

The salivary glands of the mouth (oral cavity) contains salivary amylases that break down starch and glycogen.

The breakdown of starch into sugar in the body is a hydrolysis reaction, where water is used to break down the glycosidic bonds between glucose molecules in starch. This process is facilitated by enzymes such as amylase, which catalyze the hydrolysis of starch into simpler sugars like glucose for absorption and metabolism by the body.
NO
Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into maltose, a type of sugar. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach also helps break down starch into simpler sugars during the digestion process.
first in mouth then i the stomach
Saliva is a substance that contains the starch-splitting enzyme called amylase. Amylase helps break down starch into simpler sugars like maltose to aid in digestion.
The body uses enzymes called amylase to break down starches. This enzyme is structured to break down the starch and no other enzyme can perform this function.
No, enzymes are specific to the type of molecules they can break down. An enzyme that breaks down proteins into amino acids would not be able to break down starch into sugar molecules. Starch is broken down by amylase enzymes into sugar molecules like glucose or maltose.
