Answer:

c. amino acids

Explanation:

Amino acids are the monomers of proteins. Two amino acids combine in a condensation reaction that releases water forming a peptide bond. These two amino acid residues form a dipeptide. If a third amino acid is bound, a tripeptide is formed and so on to form a polypeptide.

The amino acids are formed by an alpha carbon attached to a carboxyl group, an amino group, a hydrogen and an R chain of variable composition, which determines the properties of the different amino acids; There are hundreds of R chains so hundreds of different amino acids are known. In natural amino acids, the amino group and the carboxyl group are attached to the same carbon that is called asymmetric alpha.

The binding of several amino acids results in chains called polypeptides or simply peptides. Protein will be discussed when the polypeptide chain exceeds 50 amino acids or the total molecular weight exceeds 5,000 amu. There are about 20 different amino acids composing proteins. The chemical binding between amino acids in proteins occurs through a peptide bond. This reaction occurs naturally in ribosomes, both of the endoplasmic reticulum and the cytosol.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: The question is incomplete because the options are not given, here are the options from another websites.

A.The enzyme, amylase. which is present in saliva breaks potysaccharide chains into disaccharides.

B. Other enzymes in the small intestine further break the potysaccharide into monosaccharides.

C. You take a bite and to chew the complex carbohydrate into smaller pieces.

D.Amylase is deactivated by the low pH in the stomach.

E.. Monosaccharides are absorbed through the intestinal wad.

The correct order are,

C. You take a bite and to chew the complex carbohydrate into smaller pieces.

A.The enzyme, amylase. which is present in saliva breaks potysaccharide chains into disaccharides.

D.Amylase is deactivated by the low pH in the stomach.

B. Other enzymes in the small intestine further break the potysaccharide into monosaccharides

.E. Monosaccharides are absorbed through the intestinal wad

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are complex or large molecules are they are found in rice, bread e.t.c

Digestion of carbohydrates start from the mouth through a process called mastication i.e chewing of the carbohydrates. The salivary gland then secrete the salivary amylase which act on the chewed carbohydrates. The salivary amylase breaks down amylose and amylopectin present in starches into smaller chains of glucose which is called dextrins and maltose. When it get to the stomach, the amylase cannot further break it because it does not work in acidic conditions. The substance form chyme in the upper stomach and pancreatic enzymes act on it to break it down into simple sugar glucose. The pancreatic enzymes include sucrase, maltase and lactase.

Sucrase breakdown sucrose into glucose and fructose, maltase breakdown maltose in two molecules of glucose and lactase breakdown lactose into galactose and glucose. The simple sugar are then absorbed into the blood through the intestinal wall.
