amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch. why can’t the same enzyme break down cellulose?

Sagot :

The enzyme amylase is the enzyme that matches up to the active site in starch to allow for its break down process. A different enzyme is needed to break down cellulose because amylase would not fit the same way into the cellulose active site in the way that the correct active site would.
