Question: Which enzyme digests carbohydrates? Correct Answer: Amylase

Explanation:

Question: How many classes of amylase? Answer: There are three main classes of amylase enzymes; α(Alpha)-amylase, α(Beta)-amylase, γ(Gamma)-amylase  

Important Questions about γ(Gamma)-amylase

Question: What is the source of γ(Gamma)-amylase? Answer: The source of γ(Gamma)-amylase is Animals and microbes. Question: Where γ(Gamma)-amylase found? Answer: γ(Gamma)-amylase found in the Small intestine. Question: What is the Cleavage site of γ(Gamma)-amylase? Answer: The Cleavage site of γ(Gamma)-amylase is the Last α(Alpha)-1,4 glycosidic bond. Question: What are the Reaction products of γ(Gamma)-amylase? Answer: The Reaction products of γ(Gamma)-amylase are the Last α(Alpha)-1,4 glycosidic bond. Question: What is the Optimum pH of γ(Gamma)-amylase? Answer: The Reaction products of γ(Gamma)-amylase is 4.0 to 4.5 Question: What is the Optimum temperature in brewing for γ(Gamma)-amylase? Answer: The Optimum temperature in brewing for γ(Gamma)-amylase  is63 to 68 °C (145 to 155 °F)  

Important Questions about α(Beta)-amylase

Question: What is the source of α(Beta)-amylase? Answer: The sources of α(Beta)-amylase are Plants and microbes. Question: Where α(Beta)-amylase found? Answer: α(Beta)-amylase is found in Seeds, and fruits. Question: What is the Cleavage site of α(Beta)-amylase? Answer: The Cleavage site of α(Beta)-amylase is the Second α(Alpha)-1,4 glycosidic bond. Question: What are the Reaction products of α(Beta)-amylase? Answer: The Reaction products of α(Beta)-amylase are Maltose. Question: What is the Optimum pH of α(Beta)-amylase? Answer: The Optimum pH of α(Beta)-amylase is 5.4 to 5.5. Question: What is the Optimum temperature in brewing for α(Beta)-amylase? Answer: The Optimum temperature in brewing for α(Beta)-amylase is 58 to 65 °C (136 to 149 °F).

Important Questions about α(Alpha)-amylase

Question: What is the source of α(Alpha)-amylase? Answer: Answer: Animals, plants, microbes Question: Where α(Alpha)-amylase found? Answer: Tissue, Salivary gland, pancreas Question: What is the Cleavage site of α(Alpha)-amylase? Answer: Random α(Alpha)-1,4 glycosidic bond Question: What are the Reaction products of α(Alpha)-amylase? Answer: Maltose, dextrin Question: What is the Optimum pH of α(Alpha)-amylase? Answer: 5.6 to 5.8 Question: What is the Optimum temperature in brewing for α(Alpha)-amylase? Answer: 68 to 74 °C (154 to 165 °F)
