Answer 1

Answer:

1.stomach 2.protein 3. Proteoses/peptons

4.amylase 5. polysaccharide

6. Intestine 7. Maltase 8.glucose

Explanation:

Hello,

• During digestion, pepsin enzyme is secreted by stomach which helps in breaking down of protein into proteoses or peptons.
• While we chew our food, salivary glands secret amylase enzymes, which converts some polysaccharides(starch) into disaccharides.
• During digestion, starch is partially transformed into maltose by the pancreatic or salivary enzymes called amylases; maltase secreted by the intestine then converts maltose into glucose.

Hope you got your answer!
