Detailed explanation-1: -Pancreatic juices also contain amylase, which continues the breakdown of starch and glycogen into maltose, a disaccharide.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fructose, which is not normally present at significant concentrations in blood, is transported by facilitated diffusion. Digestion of carbohydrate requires amylases to break down starch to disaccharides, which are further digested to monosaccharides; carbohydrate absorption is largely an active process.
Detailed explanation-3: -The salivary enzyme amylase begins the breakdown of food starches into maltose, a disaccharide.
Detailed explanation-4: -Amylases digest starch into smaller molecules, ultimately yielding maltose, which in turn is cleaved into two glucose molecules by maltase.
