Question

You drink sugar cane juice, what would be formed after digestion

Answer 1

Sugarcane juice will catabolize to give various forms of sugar.

•Sugarcane juice contains amino acids, vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates.

•Since other components are monomeric products, they will be directly absorbed into the blood and circulate to required cells and tissues.

•Carbohydrates are present in form of sucrose.

•Sucrose is catabolized by amylase enzyme present in mouth saliva.

•It will break down into it's monomeric units namely, glucose and fructose.

•These two components will be taken up by body for further use.

•Various components will be used by cells to forms ATP, storage sugar glycogen, proteins.

•Ion balance of body will also benefit due to presence of various organic acids.

Answer 2

Sugar cane after digestion gives:

Explanation:

• Sugarcane juice is composed of:

1. Sugar - Sucrose.
2. Traces of minerals, like magnesium, calcium, zinc and iron.
3. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), Vitamin B2 (Ribiflavin).
4. Anti-oxidants.

• The sugar is broken down in the buccal cavity and the small intestine by the salivary and pancreatic amylase respectively to produce polysaccharides, disaccharides and sucrose.
• Sucrose is further broken down by sucrase into glucose and fructose.
• Magnesium and Zinc are required for enzymatic activity.
• Calcium is necessary for bone development.
• Iron forms the haemoglobin.
• The vitamins are required for the metabolism of of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
• Anti-oxidants helps tom protect against several diseases.
