Question

Describe what would happen if protein was mixed with amylase. Explain your answer.
(urgent!)

Answer 1

Take care - enzymes are not living things. They are just special proteins that can break large molecules into small molecules. Different types of enzymes can break down different nutrients:

carbohydrate or amylase enzymes break down starch into sugar

protease enzymes break down proteins into amino acids

lipase enzymes break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
