<span>Disaccharides need to be broken down into their component subunits (monosaccharides) before their absorption. The reaction that breaks them up is hydrolysis and it is done by enzymes- <span>glucosidases. Glucosidases are located on the brush border of the small intestine, attached to the surface of the epithelial cells. After the catalyzation of these disaccharides, the epithelial cells take up the monosaccharides and transport them inside using ATP energy. From there they are transported into the bloodstream.</span></span>

Describe the relationship between an action spectrum and an absorption spectrum. Explain why the action spectrum for photosynthe
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

An absorption spectrum illustrates the spectrum of light or electromagnetic radiation absorbed by the plant. This relies upon the molecular and cellular build-up of the plant. An action spectrum illustrates the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation most efficient for photosynthesis.  

The action spectrum of photosynthesis monitors the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll. The absorption spectrum suggests that how much of each wavelength chlorophyll will captivate, while the action potential can indicate to us about the wavelengths that are most operative for photosynthesis.
