PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Pancreatic juices also contain amylase, which continues the breakdown of starch and glycogen into maltose, a disaccharide. The disaccharides are broken down into monosaccharides by enzymes called maltases, sucrases, and lactases, which are also present in the brush border of the small intestinal wall.

Detailed explanation-2: -The digestion of disaccharides and some oligosaccharides is undertaken by a number of small intestinal brush border enzymes: sucrase-isomaltase, lactase phlorizinhydrolase, maltase-glycoamylase and trehalase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Amylase breaks down starch (a long-chain saccharide) into smaller sugars such as maltose. It does this using a water molecule to break the glycosidic bonds in the starch compound. A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of reaction without being used up.
