    Increase the sucrose activity. 19. Referring to the table above‚ specifically state where in the intestine sucrase is likely most active. duodenum 20. Salivary amylase‚ an enzyme in saliva that breaks down starch‚ has an optimal pH of 6.7- 7.0. Explain why salivary amylase is active in the mouth‚ but becomes inactive in the stomach. Salivary amylase is an enyme that’s active in the mouth in order to break down starch into glucose it carries it function out in the environment where the PH is 6.7- 7

    Assessing Starch Digestion by Salivary Amylase 1. List the substrate and the subunit product of amylase. _starch & maltose respectively__ 2. What effect did boiling and freezing have on enzyme activity? Why? How well did the results compare with your prediction?__Boiling caused amylase to be denatured‚ thus inactivating the enzyme. Freezing has no effect. The function of an enzyme is directly related to its environment‚ like temperature.__ 3. At what pH was the amylase most active? Describe the

    begin in the mouth‚ where an enzyme‚ salivary amylase (α-amylase;ptyalin) starts to breaking the polysaccharides (starch) into short polysaccharides (dextrin). Dextrin is a partial degradation of starch‚ shorter chains of maltose units. Salivary amylase is inactivated by stomach acid in the stomach and to a small extent‚ it continues breaking down starch (but there’s no enzymatic activities on carbohydrates in the stomach). An intestinal enzyme‚ pancreatic amylase‚ continues the activity

    and hydrochloric acid was used in the second test. The enzyme involed in this test is salivary amylase which can found in saliva. Salivary Amylase‚ is called ptyalin it’s to break down starch to sugar. Things we ate is broken down in mouth by amylase. Amylase hydrolysed starch into a reducing sugar which can give beneduct test a positive result. Body temperature is the optimal temperature for the action of amylase. Enzymes are catalysts for any reactions. They provide an alternative way of lower activation

    tongue and salivary glands. Hoebler et al. (1998) stated that the food was break down into smaller pieces by using teeth‚ tongue and saliva. In the mouth‚ teeth act as a tool that mechanically reduced size of food into small pieces. However‚ the tongue manipulates food bolus by pushing it for swallowing (Hoebler et al.‚1998). The last part of the oral cavity is salivary glands. In the salivary glands‚ it secretes saliva. Furthermore‚ enzyme that contain in the saliva is salivary amylase (common form

    glands. The food is mechanically broken down. An enzyme named salivary amylase breaks starch into chunks of glucose called dextrins and maltose(disaccharide maltose). Once the food reaches the stomach‚ the acid in the stomach inactivates all salivary amylase. Carbohydrate digestion is not conducted the stomach for this reason. Before the food approaches the small intestine‚ the pancreas secretes pancreatic amylase. The pancreatic amylase digests starch into maltose. The enzymes maltase‚ sucrose‚ and
