What else can I help you with?
Can maltose be digested?
Yes Maltose can be digested by the human body. Cellulose can not
Which can not be digested Sucrose maltose cellulose or fructose?
cellulose
How is maltose digested?
Maltose is digested in the small intestine by the enzyme maltase, which breaks it down into two glucose molecules. These glucose molecules can then be absorbed into the bloodstream and used for energy by the body.
What is the nutrient digested in the mouth?
Starch (carbohydrates) is broken down (digested) to maltose by salivary amylase.
Where does digestion begin at?
Digestion begins in your mouth. Starch is digested (by salivary amylase) into maltose.
Which of the following cannot be digested by humans-sucrose maltose cellulose or fructose?
Cellulose cannot be digested by humans.Cellulosecellulosehumans cannot digest cellulosecelluloseCelluloseCellulose (aka Fiber) can not be digested by humans because, we don't have the bacteria needed to break down cellulose. Sucrose, Maltose, and Fructose are all disaccharides (carbohydrates/sugars) and are all able to be broken down to glucose in the body.
What conclusions can you draw when an experimental sample gives both a positive starch test and a positive maltose test after incubation?
Starch digestion (hydrolysis) is incomplete
When you digest food starch is broken down to what molecule?
the startch component from plants is broken down to maltose and then maltose digested to glucose, the sugar found in your blood.
What is the end product of starch digested?
primary end products; maltose, maltotriose, a-dextrins, and some glucose
The digestion of maltose involves the?
enzymatic breakdown of maltose into glucose molecules by the enzyme maltase in the small intestine. This process allows for the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream for energy production and other metabolic processes.
What conclusion can you draw when an experimental sample gives both a positive starch and a positive maltose test after incubation?
The positive starch test indicates the presence of starch in the sample which could have been broken down to maltose. The positive maltose test confirms the presence of maltose. Therefore, it can be concluded that the sample initially contained starch which was subsequently broken down to maltose during incubation.
What is the only macromolecule that gets digested enzymatically in the mouth?
There are two that begin to be digested in the mouth. Sugars by amylase and fats by lingual lipase.
