Question

7. An incomplete equation for
the digestion of starch using
saliva is shown as: Saliva +
Starch (in test tube) – What
will be the likely outcome of
this?​

Answer 1

Answer:

saliva

Starch --------------> Maltose

6.8 pH

Answer 2

Answer:Saliva on starch, the salivary amylase present in saliva gradually acts on starch and converts it into maltose

Explanation:

Saliva +Starch (in test tube) The solution turns colourless and sweet in taste. Note: When we add saliva to a starch solution, the salivary amylase in saliva gradually acts on the starch molecules and converts it into maltose. Until fully digested into maltose, starch gives out a blue colour with iodine.
