Detailed explanation-1: -Abstract: Monosaccharides do not require intestinal digestion prior to absorption. Salivary a-amylase and pancreatic a-amylase are similar enzymes. Members of the amylase family of enzymes are found in many tissues and organs of the body, however the highest concentrations are in the salivary glands and pancreas.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is a simple sugar and can be absorbed directly by the body. Therefore, it does not need digestion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Simple sugars are far and away the predominant carbohydrate absorbed in the digestive tract, and in many animals the most important source of energy. Monosaccharides, however, are only rarely found in normal diets. Rather, they are derived by enzymatic digestion of more complex carbohydrates within the digestive tube.

Detailed explanation-4: -No digestion occurs in the esophagus. After passage through the esophagus, the bolus will enter the stomach and undergo mechanical and chemical digestion.
