Question

The enzyme salivary amylase will act on starch but not on protein.This action illustrates that salivary amylase

1) contains starch
2) is chemically specific
3) is not reusable
4) lacks protein

Answer 1

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

2) is chemically specific

Step-by-step explanation:

Enzymes are organic catalysts which speed up or control chemical reactions in cells. Enzymes are specific in the reactions they catalyze. An enzyme will only catalyze one specific reaction or a group of closely related reaction. Enzyme salivary amylase found in the mouth only hydrolyses starch into maltose.
