Answer 2

The Mashed Potatoes will end up being digested in the small intestine.

Explanation:

• Boiled, mashed potatoes are rich in carbohydrates and fiber.
• The starch (polysaccharide) present in potatoes gets converted into maltose (disaccharide) by the action of salivary amylase; an enzyme present in saliva.
• On reaching the stomach, the effect of enzyme inhibits.
• The mush of (disaccharide) maltose gets converted into glucose in the small intestine. This glucose is further absorbed by the intestines.
• The fiber present can not be broken down by digestive enzymes and thus it becomes part of undigested food.
