Hydrolysis is involved in?
Hydrolysis is involved in maltose to glucose digestion. Maltose, a starch, gets hydrolyzed into a couple remains of glucose in this carbohydrate digestion.
What is a name of a polysaccharides that produces maltose during digestion?
Amylose, Amylopectin
What special form of protein is responsible for breaking down sugars such as maltose and what method do they use?
Enzymes break down sugar using digestion as its method.
Maltase and sucrase is made in?
Maltase is an enzyme produced by the cells lining the small intestine.
Name the three disaccharides and the enzymes that break them down into monosaccharides?
sucrose - common table sugar = glucose + fructoselactose - major sugar in milk = glucose + galactosemaltose - product of starch digestion = glucose + glucose
Hydrolysis is involved in?
Hydrolysis is involved in maltose to glucose digestion. Maltose, a starch, gets hydrolyzed into a couple remains of glucose in this carbohydrate digestion.
What is the the product of the digestion of starch by amylase?
Maltose
Where does digestion begin at?
Digestion begins in your mouth. Starch is digested (by salivary amylase) into maltose.
What is the role of Ptyalin in digestion?
it digests starch into maltose
What produces maltose during digestion?
Amylose and Amylopectin.
Function of maltose?
The main function of maltose is to digest starch . Starch is commonly used in plants to store glucose and maltose will serve as the intermediary product of the digestion of starch.
What is a name of a polysaccharides that produces maltose during digestion?
Amylose, Amylopectin
What is end product of amylase in digestion?
Amylase breaks down starch, and therefore the product of digestion is maltose.
Difference between maltose and cellulose?
difference between cellulose and maltose is that cellulose is (chiefly in technical texts) while maltose is (carbohydrate) a disaccharide, c12h22o11 formed from the digestion of starch by amylase; is converted to glucose by maltase.
Site where digestion of disaccharides takes place?
The site where digestion of disaccharides takes place is in the mouth. An example of disaccharides is lactose, maltose, and sucrose.
What part of digestion involves a physical change?
mechanical digestion
Where does digestion in your body began?
Digestion begins in the mouth right after ingestion. There is mechanical and chemical digestion. Your teeth breaks up the food into smaller pieces (mechanical digestion) and your saliva contains salivary amylase which digests starch into maltose (chemical digestion).
