Question

Starch takes longer time than maltose to get digested in our body.

Answer 1

ANSWER:

Starch takes much longer time to digest than maltose because; the starch is much complex material than maltose. It is a complex sugar substance.

EXPLANATION:

The starch is the more complex form of maltose. When the starch is digested its first compound is maltose. The maltose has less complex structure. Therefore it takes less time to decompose into a less complex compound in the stomach.  The digestive process starts from the mouth. The salivary gland present in the mouth secretes saliva to start the process of digestion.
