Q

Which polyssecanide amylase or amylopectin hydrolyses faster?

A

Amylopectin, because it has more free ends than amylose since amylASE only hydrolyses starch at free ends

31
2 reactions
1. Dehydration synthesis Anabolic makes H2O for every 2 monomers joined 2. Hydrolysis Catabolic 1 H2O for every 2 monomers produced
32
Maltose
A-glucose + a-glucose or a-glucose + b-glucose Produced by germinating malt and is the product of digestion of stack by amylase Digestible - a-bonds
33
Sucrose
A-glucose + fructose has a bond digestible Transported through phloem Hydrolyzed by small intestine sucrase
34
Lactose
B- glucose + b-galactose Milk sugar Hydrolyzed by lactase in small intestine of mammals,b-bond digestion decreases with age B -bonds also digestible by bacteria n fung i
