Question

Describe what would happen if protein was mixed with amylase

Answer 1

Answer:

Proteolytic enzymes, or proteases, break down protein, lipases break down fat and amylase breaks down carbohydrates. Without amylase, you would be unable to digest starches and sugars

Answer 2

No reaction occurred If protein was mixed with amylase.

Explanation:

If protein was mixed with amylase, no reaction occurred.

• Because amylase is an enzyme that acts on starch. it can break down carbohydrates in smaller parts, not proteins.

• Amylase is digestive enzyme, found in salivary glands of mouth that produce salivary amylase. This salivary amylase starts the digestive process by breaking down starch into smaller carbohydrates like maltose.

• Another type of amylase is produced by pancreas, that is pancreatic amylase.This amylase produces glucose from carbohydrate.
