Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth with the enzyme salivary amylase, which breaks down starches into simpler sugars. The process continues in the small intestine, where pancreatic amylase further digests carbohydrates into disaccharides and oligosaccharides. Finally, enzymes like maltase, sucrase, and lactase, located on the intestinal brush border, convert these into monosaccharides such as glucose, fructose, and galactose for absorption.
What else can I help you with?
What enzyme breaks down carbs?
amylase
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 enzyme is responsible for fat digestion?
the lipase enzyme :)
Restriction enzyme digestion?
Yes?
What enzyme do in digestion?
speed up chemical reation....breaking down food
Is digestion carried out by enzymes?
yes,digestion is carried out by enzymes like gastric juices sch as pepsin.
Which enzyme causes the initial chemical breakdown of carbs?
ptyalin
What is the enzyme amylase used for?
it is used to break down carbs
Is pepsin an enzyme assist in carbohydrate digestion?
No
What enzyme completes the digestion of proteins?
Trypsin completes the digestion of proteins. Pepsin in the stomach starts the digestion of proteins.
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is?
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is pepsin. Pepsin is released by the mucosal lining of the stomach.
Enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates?
amylase breakes down carbs
