Secretions of salivary glands begin the digestion of?
carbohydratesstarch
What is the enzyme produced by the salivary glands that initiates carbohydrate digestion in the mouth?
The enzyme produced by the salivary glands that initiates carbohydrate digestion in the mouth is called salivary amylase. It breaks down starches into smaller sugars like maltose and dextrin to begin the process of carbohydrate digestion.
What is the optimum pH for carbohydrate digestion?
carbohydrate digesting enzymes have an optimum pH near neutrality so is for carbohydrate digestion.
Why does carbohydrate digestion begin in mouth?
Because saliva contains an enzyme (amalyse) which breaks down carbohydrates into their component sugars.
Carbohydrate digestion begins where?
Carbohydrate digestion starts in the mouth, and later is further digested in the small intestine.
In which body compartment does carbohydrate digestion not occur?
carbohydrate digestion doesn't occur in the stomach and the large intestine.
What are the products of digestion of carbohydrate?
Sugars.
Where does carbohydrate digestion begin and how does this digestion occur?
Carbohydrate digestion starts with the mastication (chewing of the mouth). There, the salivary amylase begins to break down the carbs into monosaccharides. Protein digestion begins in the stomach. Pepsin comes into play here and various enzyme proteases do as well
What is the end product carbohydrate digestion?
The end product of carbohydrate digestion is mainly glucose together with some fructose, glucose, and galactose. Monosaccharide
The final product of carbohydrate digestion is a?
Gloucose
Is pepsin an enzyme assist in carbohydrate digestion?
No
What is the blood sugar that is formed from carbohydrate digestion?
Glucose.
