Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both amylase and maltase are enzymes produced in the small intestine that break down complex carbohydrates such as starch. Amylase breaks down starch into maltose, and then maltase breaks down maltose into glucose. Therefore, the breakdown of starch in the presence of both amylase and maltase will result in glucose as the final product.
