- 2.4 Carbohydrate digestion
- enzymes are specific -> usually one enzymes breaks down molecule into smaller sections and another breaks it into monomers. Enzymes prodcued at different parts of digestive system as fastest at different pH's. Important -produced in correct sequence.
- starch digestion: 1st enxyme, amalyse produced mouth & pancrease. Hydrolysis starchs glycosdic bonds to maltose -> Maltose to monosaccharide, glucose by maltase produced in intestine lining.
- starch digestion...
- food chewed by teeth, broken into smaller peice to increase SA
- saliva enters mouth via salivary glands- mixed with food during chewing
- saliva contains salivary amalyse, starts hydrolysing starch to maltose. contains minerals slats to keep pH akaline - optimum
- food swallowed -> sotmach where acidic. acid denatures amalyse & prevent further hydrolysis of starch
- food passed to small intestine, mixes with secretion from pancreas - pancreaitc juice
- contains pancreatic amylase, continues hydrolysis of remaining starch. mineral salts produced pancrease and small intesine
- mucles in intestine push food along. Small intestine epithelial lining producs maltose - hydrolyses maltose into a-glucose
- contains pancreatic amylase, continues hydrolysis of remaining starch. mineral salts produced pancrease and small intesine
- food passed to small intestine, mixes with secretion from pancreas - pancreaitc juice

- saliva enters mouth via salivary glands- mixed with food during chewing
- food chewed by teeth, broken into smaller peice to increase SA
- two other common disaccharides that need to be broken down
- sucrose - released from cells of food by teeth - passes through to intestine where enzyme sucrase produced
- hydrolyse single glycosdic bond - produce glucose and fructose
- lactose-sugar in milk, digested in small intestine where lactase produced - hydrolyses glycosidc bonds -> glucose & galatase
- sucrose - released from cells of food by teeth - passes through to intestine where enzyme sucrase produced
