A polysaccharide called starch consists entirely of glucose molecules. during early stages of starch digestion, starch would be broken down into<u> Maltose </u>

<u>Explanation: </u>

The start of the digestion happens in the mouth which is the first organ of the digestive system; the mouth contains salivary amylase that is present in the saliva.

<u>The complete hydrolysis of starch yields, in successive stages, glucose: </u>

<em>starch → dextrins → maltose → glucose </em>

This amylase breaks down starch into several units of Maltose and sends it to the next organ. This partially digested starch is completely digested into several glucose molecules in the intestine by various enzymes.

Maltose or malt sugar, is a disaccharide comprised of two glucose molecules. The most well-known disaccharide is sucrose, which is made of glucose and fructose.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

miR-223 inhibits the expression of the fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene, and thereby ESCs cells maintain their undifferentiated state .

Explanation:

Non-coding RNA (ncRNAs) are molecules that regulate gene expression, thereby playing important biological functions in cell differentiation, cell cycle, apoptosis, etc. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of ncRNAs capable of controlling gene expression patterns by regulating mRNA stability and by suppressing their translation into proteins. It has been shown that miRNAs function by imperfectly base-pairing with the 3′ UTR of target mRNAs (Pillai et al. 2005).
