PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Amylases digest starch into smaller molecules, ultimately yielding maltose, which in turn is cleaved into two glucose molecules by maltase.

Detailed explanation-2: -New function for the enzyme amylase discovered: amylase works as a catalyst/hydrolyzing agent to break down, disaccharides (sucrose, lactose, maltose… etc) and polysaccharides (starch)

Detailed explanation-3: -Saliva contains the enzyme salivary amylase which converts starch into maltose. Starch is a polysacharide made of multiple glucose units. Maltose is a disacharide made up of two glucose units.

Detailed explanation-4: –Now starch gets hydrolysed by the enzyme amylase to the disaccharide maltose, found in the saliva of the mouth.-Diastase is an enzyme which is used to catalyze the breakdown of starch into sugar maltose.
