Which nutrient is digested by ptyalin?

Starch is digested into many single units of glucose molecules so glucose is an example of a what?
Glucose is a monomer; monomers of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides.
Glucose molecules that are produced by green plants can be?
converted into starch by dehydration synthesis and stored in root
Why does your body need to break down starch into sugar?
To absorb something in the blood the molecule has to be small and dis solvable. Glucose is very small and can be easily absorbed in the blood but starch molecules are very big. Really many glucose molecules put together form a starch molecule. Be cause starch is so big the enzymes have to cut it down so that it can be digested into the body. This is why starch molecules have to be broken down into glucose for digestion in animals.
A polysaccharide that is made by plants and can be digested by humans is?
Starch! We have amylases to digest them!!
Is sugar the same as starch?
No, as it's digested starch turns into sugar, but they are different foods.
What is produced when sugar is digested when sugar is digested in a animal cell?
Carbon Dioxide will be produced.
