Each of these is an enzyme which speeds up a reaction in breaking down a substrate. Lactase helps in breaking down lactose, amylase helps with amylose, and cellulase helps with cellulose. All of these substrates are sugars.

Which enzyme is found in the saliva and which food type does it act on?
on the amylase solution
What type of enzymes are found in yeast?
Zymase, and Amylase.
Why should the amylase in the saliva be replaced with carbohydrase in the small intestine?
bcz the salivary amylase is denatured due to acidic medium in stomach so to digest the carbohydrates we need new amylase.
What enzymes digest protein?
Enzymes dont digest proteins they act as cataylst to break down the protein, there is a difference. :D As one enzyme is specifc to one type of protein, there are a wide variety of them, For example. Amylose (in out saliva) is catalyst by amylase the enzyme. Lactose in dairy is cataylsed by the enzyme lactase. And Cellulose (in plant cell walls) is catalysted by Celluase.
What does the enzyme amylase have in common with casease?
Yes they are two different enzymes, Carbohydrase breaks down carbohydrate into simple sugars. Amylase is produced in both the mouth (in saliva) and the pancreas (pancreatic amylase). Amylase breaks down starch molecules in your food into simple sugars. Pancreatic amylase hydrolyses an remaining starch molecules in the pancreas into simple sugars.
What type of molecules does Amylase digest?
carbohydrates are the main compounds digested by amylase
What type of macromolecule is lactase?
as a general rule, anything ending in -ase is an enzyme, so lactase is an enzyme that breaks down molecules of lactose
What type of biomelecule is lactose?
as a general rule, anything ending in -ase is an enzyme, so lactase is an enzyme that breaks down molecules of lactose
What is the bond type of lactose?
Lactase
Is lactase a sweetener?
No. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose, which is a sweetener, sort of: it's a type of sugar.
To what family of chemicals does amylase belong?
Amylase is an enzyme that is present in the saliva of humans and some other mammals, and is involved in the chemical process of digestion. Though there are different variations of amylase, they are all classified as glycoside hydrolases.
How does saliva alpha amylase work?
Amylase is an enzyme that induces hydrolysis of starches, breaking them down into sugar. Saliva alpha amylase is simply a type of amylase.
What type of compound and bond is hydrolized by the alpha amylase?
Alpha bonds are hydrolised by alpha amylase. The alpha amylase is the sole form of amylase found in all mammals.
Which enzyme is found in the saliva and which food type does it act on?
on the amylase solution
Where is amylase found in plants?
Amylase is a type of carbohydrase enzyme. In humans it is produced in the pancreas.
What type of food does amylase act on?
starch is broken down by amylase and starch is the only food that its digestion begins in mouth by amylase of salavia.
What type of enzymes are found in yeast?
Zymase, and Amylase.
