Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The digestion of carbohydrates starts with polysaccharides (such as starch) being broken down by enzymes into smaller chains of glucose molecules called dextrins. These dextrins are then further broken down into individual glucose molecules through the action of other enzymes. Therefore, the correct order is polysaccharides to dextrins to glucose.
