true
false

1. the two digestible starches are:

glucose, fructose
amylose, amylopectin
sucrose, maltose
lactose, galactose

1. approximately 80% of the digestible starches in the diet are:

amylopectin
amylose
oligosaccharides
monosaccharides

Explanation:

1. Fiber is indigestible by human digestive - enzymes.
2. Amylose and amylopectin are the two main digestible starches. Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides, sucrose and maltose are disaccharides, lactose and galactose are also related to milk - sugar and monosaccharide respectively.
3. Approximately 80% of the digestible starches in the diet are amylopectin due to its branched structure which makes it more accessible to digestive enzymes.

Answer:

1. False
2. Amylose, amylopectin
3. Amylopectin
