NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -There are three types of amylases known: alpha, beta and gamma. All three are found in different organisms and catalyse different sites of the starch molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -The enzyme amylase, which is produced in the salivary glands and pancreas, is in high concentrations in the foregut. We were able to establish that very high levels of this durable enzyme persist throughout the small intestine as measured in the terminal ileum.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are three main classes of amylase enzymes; Alpha-, beta-, and gamma-amylase, and each act on different parts of the carbohydrate molecule. Alpha-amylase can be found in humans, animals, plants, and microbes. Beta-amylase is found in microbes and plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Amylase is present in the saliva of humans and some other mammals, where it begins the chemical process of digestion. Foods that contain large amounts of starch but little sugar, such as rice and potatoes, may acquire a slightly sweet taste as they are chewed because amylase degrades some of their starch into sugar.
