Detailed explanation-1: -Sucrase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose to glucose and fructose. Sucrase is produced in the small intestine and is responsible for the hydrolysis of sucrose to glucose and fructose. This allows the small intestine to absorb the monosaccharides glucose and fructose.
Detailed explanation-2: -The SI gene provides instructions for producing the enzyme sucrase-isomaltase. This enzyme is made in the cells that line the small intestine, where it is involved in breaking down the sugars sucrose (a sugar found in fruits, and also known as table sugar) and maltose (the sugar found in grains).
Detailed explanation-3: -This sucrase enzyme breaks down sucrose and maltose into their basic sugar components in the small intestine. The small intestine then absorbs these basic sugars.
