Explanation:

As we all know ,Carbohydrate are compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Every human being require maximum amount of carbohydrate in his/her diet. Daily requirement of carbohydrate for an adult is about 500 g. carbohydrate digestion start in mouth with the help of chewing and salivary amylase in combination of mechanical and chemical action. while the process take place in small intestine. Because amylase enzyme does not work in stomach due to acidic conditions. That's why stomach cannot digest carbohydrate.

Answer:

All the food that we eat goes through our digestive system so it can be broken down and used by the body . Carbohydrates take a journey starting with the intake of food at the mouth and with elimination from your colon . There's a lot that happens between the entry and exit.

Explanation:

1- The mouth .

the carbohydrates begin to digest from.here and the saliva secreted from your salivary gland moistens food and is chewed . Saliva releases an enzyme called amylase , which begins the process of breakdown of of the sugars in carbohydrates you're eating .

2- The Stomach.

the carbohydrates travel through esophagus to your stomach that u chewed . At this stage , the food referred as chyme . Your stomach makes acid to kill bacteria in the chyme before it makes next step in the digestion journey.

3- Small Intestine, Pancreas, Liver .

The chyme the goes from the stomach into the first part of small intestine called duodenum . This enzyme breaks down chyme into dextrin and maltose .

From there.,the wall of small intestine begins to make lactose, sucrase, maltose . these enzymes break down the sugars even further into monosaccharids or single sugars . these sugars are ones are finally absorbed by the small intestine. Once they are absorbed they are processed even more by the liver and stored as glycogen .

The hormone insulins released from.the pancreas and allows the glucose to be used as energy .

4- Colon .

Anything that's left over after these digestive processes goes to the colon ...

Hope it's clear to you dear .............
