Question

Summarise the digestion of starch as an example of the role of extracellular enzymes.

Accepted Answer

Digestion of starch:Starch polymers partially broken down into maltose (disaccharide) using amylase (released in saliva, produced by salivary glands and pancreas)Maltose is then broken down into glucose (monosaccharide that can be absorbed by cells) using maltase (present in small intestine)
