In order to assemble the organic compounds that are necessary for life, enzymes must break down food into their building blocks. what would happen if someone was not able to produce enough amylase?
a. monosaccharides would not be obtained from food.
b. amino acids would not be obtained from food.
c. fatty acids would not be obtained from food.
d. nucleotides would not be obtained from food.

The correct answer would be A. Monosaccharides would not be obtained from food.

Amylase is an enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of polysaccharides such as glycogen and starch into their respective simpler units such as disaccharides and trisaccharides.

These simpler units are ultimately converted into their respective monosaccharide units.

In humans, amylase is secreted by salivary glands and pancreas.
