Question
in the mouth, the starch that can be found in the flour is broken down to 1. smaller polysaccharides and n with the help of the enzyme 2. amylase from the salivary glands. the remaining carbohydrates are select in the stomach, the enzyme is destroyed by the 3. and chemical digestion of starch then comes to a stop. once estines, the remaining starch and smaller polysaccharides are broken down to 4. select , released from the 6. pancreas. the 7. maltose is then broken down to two units of glucose by the enzyme maltase, which is also located in the cell membrane of the 8. intestinal tract cells. the table sugar in the jelly roll is broken down to glucose and 9. fructose 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 (dissaccharides) 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 to smaller polysaccharides and maltose. Stomach acid destroys amylase. In the small intestine, pancreatic amylase further breaks starch. Maltase breaks maltose to glucose. Sucrase breaks table - sugar (sucrose) to glucose and fructose, and lactase breaks lactose in milk to glucose and galactose.
