Why can the enzyme maltase, which breaks down into the sugar maltose, not also be used to break down the sugar sucrose?

1 answer:

8 0

The enzyme maltase breaks down disaccharide maltose into simple sugar glucose, which is usable by the body. This glucose can now also be stored in the liver for future use.

This maltase does nor break down sugar sucrose because it is the sucrase enzyme that breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose.

Oxygen and CO2 are exchanged between capillaries and alveolus. Do capillaries contain deoxygenated blood while alveolous contain

dalvyx [7]

The aveolus is surrounded by capillaries. So capillaries carry deoxygenated blood to the alveolus where the oxygen from the alveolus diffuses into the blood in the capillaries. The deoxygenated blood is now oxygenated and is carried out of the lung via capillaries that then merge into the pulmonary vein.

In other words, alveolus does not have oxygenated blood it just puts oxygen into the deoxygenated blood hat this brought in.
