BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -In the human body, amylase is predominantly produced by the salivary glands and the pancreas. Although salivary and pancreatic amylases are similar, they are encoded by different genes (AMY1 and AMY2, respectively) and show different levels of activity against starches of various origins [10].

Detailed explanation-2: -P-type amylase is synthesized by pancreatic acinar cells and secreted into the intestinal tract via the pancreatic duct system. Its action is favored by the mildly alkaline conditions in the duodenum.

Detailed explanation-3: -This enzyme helps break down starches into sugar, which your body can use for energy. If you don’t have enough amylase, you may get diarrhea from undigested carbohydrates.
