Why will salivary amylase not break down protein

Biology

Salivary amylase is an enzyme that is found in saliva in the mouth. It is an enzyme that only recognizes the glycosidic bonds between molecules of simple sugars that form the carbohydrate polymers. It specifically targets these bonds and breaks them and does not recognize any other bonds of different substances such as protein. Salivary amylase is alkaline in nature and cannot work in the stomach. It breaks the glycosidic bonds between the glucose molecules in starch to form maltose. Maltose is later broken down further by pancreatic amylase, into individual units of glucose.

Answer:

Please find the answer to the blank spaces in each statement of the attached image in CAPS.

1. All energy comes from the SUN

2. Plants, algae and some bacteria capture energy by PHOTOSYNTHESIS in their CHLOROPLAST.

3. Plants, animals, fungi, protists, and most bacteria release energy by RESPIRATION in their MITOCHONDRIA.

Note:

- Photosynthesis requires CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) and WATER (H20) to make GLUCOSE (C6H12O6) and OXYGEN (02)

- Respiration requires GLUCOSE (C6H12O6) and OXYGEN (02) to make CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) and WATER

Explanation:

The image in this diagram is depicting how energy flows from the ultimate source, which is the SUN to other living organisms. Plants, algae and some bacteria have the ability to capture energy from the SUN using pigments in their CHLOROPLAST in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS, which they use to synthesize their food. The process of photosynthesis requires CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) and WATER (H20) to make GLUCOSE (C6H12O6) and OXYGEN (02) gas.

However, on the contrary, virtually all living organisms including: Plants, animals, fungi, protists, and most bacteria etc. release energy via an organelle called MITOCHONDRIA in a process called RESPIRATION. The process of respiration requires GLUCOSE (C6H12O6) and OXYGEN (02) to make CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) and WATER.
