Bremsstrahlung (or Brems) radiation. is one of the two kinds of x-rays produced at the tungsten target of the x-ray tube; The incident high-speed electron, passing through a tungsten atom, is attracted by the positively charged nucleus and therefore is deflected from its course, with a resulting loss of energy.
An amylase (/ËaemÉ¨leÉªs/) ËÃ¦mÉ¨leÉªs is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch into. Sugars amylase is present in the saliva of humans and some other, mammals where it begins the chemical process of. digestionhe pancreas and salivary gland make amylase (alpha amylase) to hydrolyse dietary starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides which are converted by other enzymes to glucose to supply the body with energy. Plants and some bacteria also produce amylase.
First part of the lesson: Amylase is an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar. Explain what an enzyme is and how it works. Introduce the tools we will use in the experiments. Go back to Cracker and introduce the idea that the enzyme that broke starch down into sugar is called amylase.An enzyme breaks down larger molecules into smaller molecules like sugars. -An enzyme is specific for its substrate: the enzyme that breaks down starch won't be able to break proteins down. -An enzyme is reusable, it doesn't get used up in the reaction, so it can perform it over and over again.
