What is polysaccharides broken down into?
This is an example of hydrolosis; a decoposition using water, or H2O.
What is the function of a polysaccharide?
Polysaccharides are made of many glucose molecules. During digestion these molecules get separated and digested. They are the source of energy and in body they are stored as a polymer of glucose called glycogen.
Maltase and sucrase is made in?
Maltase is an enzyme produced by the cells lining the small intestine.
In what order is protein broken down during digestion?
Polypeptides, peptides, amino acids

it viberates
What produces maltose during digestion?
Amylose and Amylopectin.

What role does alpha amylase have in the process of digestion?
Alpha amylase is an enzyme that breaks down long chain carbohydrates in the starch chain during digestion. Technically speaking, it hydrolyses alpha-bonds of large alpha-linked polysaccharides like starch and glycogen, producing glucose and maltose. It is most present in the saliva, where digestion actually begins, and pancreatic juice.

What substance is produced when starch is broken down in your disgestive system?
Digestion of starch starts in the mouth when salivary amylase (enzyme) turns it into maltose (sugar) and then further during digestion , maltase breaks it down to its simplest form,glucose which can then be used up by the body as an energy source.
During digestion what organs produces enzymes that break the food into glucose or sugars amino acids fatty acids and nucleic acids?
Pancreas
Maltase and sucrase is made in?
Maltase is an enzyme produced by the cells lining the small intestine.
What substance does the stomach produce?
The stomach produces a liquid called stomach juices during digestion to make the food easier to digest in the small & large intestines.
What sugar is fermented during the production of beer and liquor products?
Maltose
Which enzymes are at work during digestion?
During digestion the enzyme in saliva works on cooked food
Water is absorbed from what during digestion?
Water is absorbed from the large intestine into the bloodstream during digestion.
Does food go into the gallbladder in digestion?
no, it serves some sort of purpose in digestion but food does not go inside of it. otherwise, it could not be removed =================================================== No, food does not go into the gall bladder.
