Question

Order the steps of carbohydrate digestion:___________

a. Fiber continues to the large intestine, where some is metabolized by bacteria in the colon and the majority eliminated in your stool
b. Saliva contains amylase enzyme, which starts breaking down amylose and amylopectin into smaller starch units and maltose
c. Maltose and other disaccharides are broken down to monosaccharides and absorbed into blood
d. In small intestine, pancreatic amylase breaks down remaining starch into maltose

Answer 1

B

D

C

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Digestion begins in the mouth with the process of chewing also known as mastication. Saliva in the mouth mixes with the food. saliva contains amylose. This breaks down sugar into smaller units of dextrins and maltose.

In the small intestine, the pancreas releases pancreatic juice which breaks down dextrins into smaller units.

the cells in the small intestine helps to transport the digested nutrients to the blood stream

Undigested food goes to the large intestine and eliminated in the stool
