Biology
1 answer:
Nostrana [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Some bacteria are used as indicators because if they are present in the product, we can say that it is a product with the presence of pathogens that will cause diseases. Some of them are: total coliforms, fecal coliforms and enterococci.

To be a good indicator they must have a correlation with the pathogens and be more abundant than them. Its presence in a food indicates the possible presence  simultaneous pathogen microorganisms. For example, E. coli has been used as  Index of possible presence of pathogens of enteric origin in water and food

Amylase catalyzes a reaction with starch to directly create _______.
mario62 [17]

Maltose is produced instantly when amylase reacts with starch.

Starch is a polysaccharide molecule made of glucose units. The chemical formula of the starch is written as (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ. The starch consists of amylose and amylopectin. The glucose units in this starch are linked with the help of two kinds of bonds α 1,4 glycosidic linkages and α 1,6 glycosidic linkages.

This starch molecule is first hydrolyzed into shorter polysaccharides, dextrins, and maltose with a help of an enzyme called amylase. The maltose can be further hydrolyzed into glucose units with the help of the maltase enzyme.

Therefore, the blank can be filled with maltose.
