1. Starch takes longer time than maltose to get digested in
our body.
Keywords: starch, complex, broken down, simple sugars​

Answer 1

Heye

_________________________

★ As starch is a complex sugar structure it takes longer time than maltose digestion. The molecule structure in starch is the complex when compared to maltose. The breakdown of the complex chemical bonds are tough, the saliva in mouth disseminate starch into maltose.

Answer 2

Answer:

starch is mainly a complex material to be broken down

Explanation:

Both maltose and dextrin are digested by enzymes (maltase) which are fixed to the epithelial lining of the small intestine

The hydrolysis of maltose / dextrin results in the formation of glucose monomers

Glucose can be hydrolysed to produce ATP (cell respiration) or stored in animals as the polysaccharide glycogen

Glucose monomers can also be generated from the breakdown of other disaccharides (such as lactose and sucrose)
