Question

(4) which of the following is a complex component of food ?
a. glucose
b. starch
c. amino acid
d . water

​

Answer 1

C.Amino Acids

It's complex as during digestion it's further broken down into simpler substances called proteins...

Answer 2

Answer:

Because starch digestion involves the breakdown of starch by -amylase to tiny linear and branching malto-oligosaccharides, B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Complex substances are dietary components that cannot be used as-is and must be broken down into simpler compounds.

When you ingest starchy meals, an enzyme called amylase present in your saliva and small intestine breaks down the starches into sugars such as glucose, maltotriose, and maltose. Other enzymes, such as maltase, lactase, sucrase, and isomaltase, break down these complex sugars into simple sugars.

But others enter your stomach as glucose, water, and amino acid and are promptly absorbed through to your small intestine; no breakdown is required.
