What organ produce sucrase?
synthesized in the small intestine by the brush border, and secreted by the tips of the villi epithelium, particularly in the duodenum
What breaks down complex sugars to simple sugars in the mouth and small intestine?
sucrase
What is The most active area for the absorption of nutrients into the body?

What enzyme(s) breaks down starch?
