Is maltose non reducing sugar?
maltose is a reducing sugar ..
What the product to the reactants maltose and water?
Maltose and water react to form the maltose solution. A sweet solution!
Where is maltase located in the human body?
Maltose isn't used inside the body but it can be used to sweeten many foods.Maltose is a disaccharide formed from two units of glucose. In order for the body to "use" maltose, it must be digested and absorbed in its monomeric form: GLUCOSE. When food passes through the stomach as chyme and passes into the small intestine's duodenum, this causes the small intestine to release disaccharidases (i.e. maltase), which are a group of enzymes that can digest disaccharides, such as maltose. Once maltose is broken down by maltase into two units of glucose, glucose is free to be absorbed by the gut.
What sugar is produced when amylase breaks down the disaccharide maltose?
Maltose
Is maltose a protein lipid or carbohydrate?
Maltose is a carbohydrate made from 2 glucose.
Can maltose be digested?
Yes Maltose can be digested by the human body. Cellulose can not
Which can not be digested Sucrose maltose cellulose or fructose?
cellulose
What is the nutrient digested in the mouth?
Starch (carbohydrates) is broken down (digested) to maltose by salivary amylase.
What does maltose yield when digested?
Lactose and Glucose
The digestion of maltose involves the?
The digestion of maltose involves the action of the enzyme maltase. The product is glucose.
Where does digestion begin at?
Digestion begins in your mouth. Starch is digested (by salivary amylase) into maltose.
Which of the following cannot be digested by humans-sucrose maltose cellulose or fructose?
Cellulose cannot be digested by humans.Cellulosecellulosehumans cannot digest cellulosecelluloseCelluloseCellulose (aka Fiber) can not be digested by humans because, we don't have the bacteria needed to break down cellulose. Sucrose, Maltose, and Fructose are all disaccharides (carbohydrates/sugars) and are all able to be broken down to glucose in the body.
What conclusion can you draw when an experimental sample gives both a positive starch and a positive maltose test after incubation?
The maltose positive test will have a degree of how positive, it is. That will tell you how much of the starch has been digested.
What conclusions can you draw when an experimental sample gives both a positive starch test and a positive maltose test after incubation?
Starch digestion (hydrolysis) is incomplete
When you digest food starch is broken down to what molecule?
the startch component from plants is broken down to maltose and then maltose digested to glucose, the sugar found in your blood.
What is the end product of starch digested?
primary end products; maltose, maltotriose, a-dextrins, and some glucose
Is maltose non reducing sugar?
maltose is a reducing sugar ..
