Enzymes that digest carbohydrate

Explanation:

  • An enzyme called amylase is secreted by saliva, it breaks down the sugar in the carbohydrates.
  • Another enzyme is pancreatic amylase which is produced by the pancreas in the small intestine, it breaks the polysaccharides into disaccharides and monosaccharides.
  • Oligosaccharides are produced by the lining of the intestine, a brush border membrane, it acts on the small intestine.
  • Digestion of starch starts in the mouth but primarily takes place in the small intestine by special enzymes secreted from the pancreas.
