Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This enzyme breaks down the chyme into dextrin and maltose. From there, the wall of the small intestine begins to make lactase, sucrase, and maltase. These enzymes break down the sugars even further into monosaccharides or single sugars.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pancreatic Amylase and Maltase In the final step of complex carbohydrate digestion, the enzyme maltase present in the lining of the small intestine breaks maltose into two units of glucose. Glucose is then absorbed and enters the bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth and is most extensive in the small intestine. The resultant monosaccharides are absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to the liver.
