Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It comprises a small portion of the total amylase excreted, which is mostly made by the pancreas. Amylases digest starch into smaller molecules, ultimately yielding maltose, which in turn is cleaved into two glucose molecules by maltase.
Detailed explanation-2: -Amylases, which are starch-degrading enzymes, are grouped into endoamylases, exoamylases, debranching enzymes, and transferases. -Amylase is an endoamylase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of internal -1, 4-glycosidic linkages into glucose, maltose, and maltotriose units.
