How are carbohydrates digested? (7)

Starch is the main polysaccharide and has 2 types: amylose: glucose monomers in linear chains amylopectin: monomers in branched chains STARCH is digested by AMYLASE = MALTOSE (Disaccharide) MALTOSE is digested by MALTASE = GLUCOSE (Monosaccharide) Glucose monomers is used for cell respiration / processed and stored in the liver as GLYCOGEN (polysaccharide) occurs in small intestine and products are transported to the liver
