Recall questions

• What are carbohydrates broken down into during hydrolysis?

  Disaccharides and then monosacchrides
• What is the role of amylase?

  To hydrolyse starch into maltose
• Where is amylase produced?

  Salivary glands and pancreas
• How are epithelial cells in the ileum involved in the digestion of carbohydrates?

  They have membrane-bound disaccharidase enzymes
• What are the three disaccharide enzymes?

  Maltase, Sucrase, Lactase
• Explain how monosaccharides are absorbed across the ileum epithelium

  -Glucose and galactose are actively transported using sodium ions through co-transporter proteins

  -Fructose is absorbed by facilitated diffusion through a different transporter protein
