Question
in the mouth, the starch that can be found in the flour is broken down to 1. smaller polysaccharides and rr with the help of the enzyme 2. amylase from the salivary glands. the remaining carbohydrates are not broken down in the mouth. in the stomach, the enzyme is destroyed by the 3. hydrochloric acid and chemical digestion of starch then comes to a stop. once the chyme reaches the small intestines, the remaining starch and smaller polysaccharides are broken down to 4. maltose by the enzyme 5. maltase, released from the 6. pancreas. the 7. maltose is then broken down to two units of glucose by the enzyme select amylopectin maltose amylose starch the cell membrane of the 8. intestinal tract y roll is broken down to glucose and 9. by the enzyme 10. sucrase and the lactose in the milk is broken down to glucose and 11. galactose by the enzyme 12. lactase. these two enzymes (dissaccharidases) are also located in the cell membrane of the intestinal tract cell. these monosaccharides are the end product of digestion and they are absorbed into the blood and carried to the liver.
In the mouth, salivary amylase starts starch digestion. Stomach acid halts this. In the small intestine, pancreatic enzymes like maltase further break down carbohydrates. Sucrase breaks down sucrose and lactase breaks down lactose, yielding monosaccharides for absorption.
