Answer:

The correct answer is: A) a pregnant woman.

Explanation:

Bodybuilders in particular need the lower body fat percentage possible in order to succeed in their career, since most of their bodies must be muscle. Professional ballet dancers need to be light and skinny to be able to perform their dance moves and to be lifted by their partners; a basketball player also needs a lower fat percentage and a higher muscle mass percentage to be able to play at his best; and a ranch hand as well needs to not be packing that much fat in order to make his job easier.

Pregnant women, however, need body fat to have healthy pregnancies. This doesn't mean that they do not need to take care of themselves, because a higher body fat than what it's needed can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure and can difficult the pregnancy.

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.
