Explain the characteristics scientists use when observing organisms and placing them in the six
kingdoms?

Amylase is an enzyme which breaks down starch into maltose. It is found in the mouth and in the Small Intestines. The amylase breaks the bonds to form smaller molecules( simple sugar). It is then absorbed and used by the cells for aerobic respiration( cellular respiration).

Carbohydrates are digested in the mouth, stomach and small intestine. Carbohydrase enzymes break down starch into sugars. The saliva in your mouth contains amylase, which is another starch digesting enzyme.

Hope this helps:)
