When people do not have enough of the enzyme lactase, lactose is not sufficiently broken down resulting in a condition called lactose intolerance. Once carbohydrates are chemically broken down into single sugar units they are then transported into the inside of intestinal cells. Maltase breaks the bond between the two glucose units of maltose, and lactase breaks the bond between galactose and glucose. Sucrase breaks sucrose into glucose and fructose molecules. These enzymes, known collectively as disaccharidase, are sucrase, maltase, and lactase. Additionally, enzymes are secreted by the intestinal cells that line the villi. This pancreatic juice contains the enzyme, pancreatic amylase, which starts again the breakdown of dextrins into shorter and shorter carbohydrate chains. Upon entry of the chyme into the small intestine, the pancreas releases pancreatic juice through a duct. The chyme is gradually expelled into the upper part of the small intestine. But mechanical breakdown is ongoing-the strong peristaltic contractions of the stomach mix the carbohydrates into the more uniform mixture of chyme.ДЇigure 4.6 Salivary Glands in the Mouth Salivary glands secrete salivary amylase, which begins the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates by breaking the bonds between monomeric sugar units. (This is a good thing as more glucose in the mouth would lead to more tooth decay.) When carbohydrates reach the stomach no further chemical breakdown occurs because the amylase enzyme does not function in the acidic conditions of the stomach. Only about five percent of starches are broken down in the mouth. The increased concentration of maltose in the mouth that results from the mechanical and chemical breakdown of starches in whole grains is what enhances their sweetness. The salivary amylase breaks down amylose and amylopectin into smaller chains of glucose, called dextrins and maltose. This enzyme breaks the bonds between the monomeric sugar units of disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and starches. Saliva contains the enzyme, salivary amylase. The salivary glands in the oral cavity secrete saliva that coats the food particles. Chewing, also known as mastication, crumbles the carbohydrate foods into smaller and smaller pieces. The mechanical and chemical digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth.

He was so happy !.ewe should have seen him paddling around and splashing about.screaming for joy !.then, a few minutes later he wasn't there !!.I looked everywhere.I even looked inside his wallet which I had to empty first into my pocket in case he was playing hide and seek. I then threw him into a vat of gastric acid and waited for the results. Some Korn and Corn Oops, How did those juicy plums get there ? When corn goes in your tummy it comes into contact with some well hard stuff called hydrochloric acid !.it's well caustic ! So, how comes corn survives this assault ? As a firm believer in empirical study I snuk into my neighbours house at 3am this morning and dressed him up as a cob of corn. there are two types of corn: There's Korn. Dearest Cornologists, As a sheepy I of course luff corn, corn is my all time favourite yellow kernel type thing that tastes corny.

Does corn get digested
