Question

If salivary amylase is lacking the saliva, the event that get affected in mouth cavity will be
a) proteins breaking down into amino acids
b) starch breaking down into sugars
c) fats breaking down into fatty acids and glycerol
d) absorption of vitamins​

Answer 1

Answer:

option B is correct

Because, Amylase is the enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch into simple sugars. So if salivary amylase is lacking in saliva, the breakdown of starch is affected. Another phenomenon such as protein breakdown to amino acids by protease enzyme and fat breakdown by bile in the small intestine. Whereas vitamins are absorbed by small intestine.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Amylase is the enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch into simple sugars. So if salivary amylase is lacking in saliva, the breakdown of starch is affected. Another phenomenon such as protein breakdown to amino acids by protease enzyme and fat breakdown by bile in the small intestine. Whereas vitamins are absorbed by small intestine.
