Question
which molecule is hydrolyzed (digested) by amylase? multiple choice starch cellulose glucase glycogen albumin
Amylase is an enzyme that specifically acts on starch, breaking it down through hydrolysis. Cellulose is not digested by human - produced amylase due to its different glycosidic bond structure. Glucose is a monosaccharide and not a substrate for amylase. Glycogen has a different structure from starch and is not the main substrate for amylase in the same way. Albumin is a protein and not related to amylase's action.
