Because of its size, starch can not pass through the cell membrane. So, it must be broken down to its monomer form glucose with enzyme amylase.

What is broken down starch called?
Glucose. Starch is broken down into glucose by enzymes in our digestive system.
What happens to the food we eat in the stomach and digestive system?
The proteins are broken down to amino acids and get absorbed. Carbohydrates are broken down to glucose (and fructose) and are absorbed. Fats are broken down to fatty acids and glycerol and absorbed. Minerals and vitamins are absorbed as such.
What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
The enzyme amylase breaks down starch into sugars, primarily maltose. These sugars are then broken down further by enzymes such as maltase, sucrase, and lactase.
Can salt be broken down into simpler?
Yes, it can, by starch.
What was the effect of peptidase on starch?
Peptidase does not have an effect on starch. Peptidase is an enzyme that breaks down proteins, not carbohydrates like starch. Starch is primarily broken down by enzymes such as amylase.
What happens in the alimentary canal?
Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. Starch is broken down by enzymes. Macromolecules are broken down.
How is saturated fat digested and absorbed in the intestinal tract?
Broken down into starch and glycose
What is the first easiest thing to be broke down and absorbed by the body?
Probably starch broken down to sugar.
What is broken down starch called?
Glucose. Starch is broken down into glucose by enzymes in our digestive system.
Why is starch not broken down at high temperatures?
The enzyme amylase is denatured by the high temp. The starch cannot be broken down
What are starch molecules broken up by?
Starch molecules are broken down by enzymes called amylases, which are secreted by the pancreas and salivary glands. Amylases break starch molecules into smaller sugars like maltose and glucose, which can then be absorbed and used for energy by the body.
What happens to the food we eat in the stomach and digestive system?
The proteins are broken down to amino acids and get absorbed. Carbohydrates are broken down to glucose (and fructose) and are absorbed. Fats are broken down to fatty acids and glycerol and absorbed. Minerals and vitamins are absorbed as such.
In order to obtain energy from glycogen and startch the body must do what?
It is broken down using enzymes, such as amylase, into glucose which then can be used in cell respiration.
What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
The enzyme amylase breaks down starch into sugars, primarily maltose. These sugars are then broken down further by enzymes such as maltase, sucrase, and lactase.
What must proteins be broken down into before being absorbed?
Yes they do. the protein has to be digested in the stomach before absorbed there.
Starch can be broken down into the disaccharide known as?
Starch is composed of many maltose units.
Can salt be broken down into simpler?
Yes, it can, by starch.
