Problem:
Question: What is the function of amylase? What does amylase do to starch? Amylase is a digestive enzyme that acts on starch in food, it brakes down the starch into smaller carbohydrate molecules.
Amylase is made in two places the salivary glands in your mouth which starts the digestive process by breaking down the starch in foods as you chew and convert that into maltose a smaller carbohydrate.
The other place is in the pancrease which completes the digestive carbohydrate, producing glueclose, a small molecule absorbed into the blood and carried throughout the body.
Does anybody know any source of this kind?
