oli Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 ok i need a bit of help with my biology coursework. i was just wondering why is it that both cellulase and amylase will digest starch but amylase does it a lot quicker, any information or links would be greatly appreciated.

lokoike Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 ok i need a bit of help with my biology coursework. i was just wondering why is it that both cellulase and amylase will digest starch but amylase does it a lot quicker, any information or links would be greatly appreciated. Sorry, I hated Chem and I doubt these will be real helpful, but I tried to find related links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amylose http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulase http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch Save a tree, eat a beaver.

Moderators hazelnut Posted February 22, 2006 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2006 Here's a link that may help. Amylase starts in the saliva gland and is more use on starch than cellulase as that seems to work better on fibre based food. http://library.thinkquest.org/24206/enzyme-therapy.html Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krit86lr Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 yeah that may be true but unfortunately its not detailed enough, although i could put something like that down i would need to back it up with scientific information. thanks neway Cellulace breaks down cellulose to glucose. Cellulose is a structural polysaccharide that is the main material of cell walls. Cellulose and startch are both polymers of glucose, but the glucose monomers are arranged differently. Therefore, the function of Cellulace is to breakdown cellulose, not starch. Hope that this, and my PM are helpful.

oli Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 yeah i know this but i need to know why cellulase will still hydralise starch but not as fast amylase. starch is alpha glucose and cellulose is beta glucose. unfortunately with A level you must be quite detailed in your explanation. with concerns with that cambellsbiology, lets just say im glad i did not pay for it. thanks for your help anyway.

I've never used Campbells website so I wasn't sure if it was going to help or not. I couldn't give you the one's that I use because I use them, and I only have 1 key. Can you not find more information in your book, and/or notes?

oli Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 yeah that cambells place is very simple biology, unfortunately i have not found much info but i believe that it may have something to do with glycosidic bonds Homer: I never apologise, im sorry Lisa.

krit86lr Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 yeah that cambells place is very simple biology, unfortunately i have not found much info but i believe that it may have something to do with glycosidic bonds Yeah that was from the first biology course that I took. But all my courses since have been neurobiology (my focus) so I'm not really familiar with the digestive system. But if you have any brain questions I can help you alot there! What year are you?
