Question

When you eat, the enzymes in your mouth, called Amylase

(1), immediately begin to attach themselves to the sugar that is in your food called Amylose. Amylose is a substrate
(2) that the enzyme Amylase bonds to creating a lock and key model
(3). The enzyme helps the amylose by lowering the activation energy needed to break it down and by making the breakdown of the sugar occur faster. This reaction yields
(4) fructose and galactose as monosaccharides

Answer 1

Carbohydrate digestion begins with the enzyme amylase breaking down amylose in the mouth and continues in the small intestine, producing 4) fructose and galactose as monosaccharides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth with the enzyme amylase in saliva breaking down amylose (a sugar found in food) into smaller pieces. The process continues in the small intestine, where amylase secreted by the pancreas further breaks down amylose into fructose and galactose, which are monosaccharides.
