question

Describe the path of a molecule of sugar from the time it entersthe mouth as part of a molecule of starch, until it reachesthe cytoplasm of the cells lining the small intestine.

options

  1. The starch undergoes no change in the mouth but is broken down into glucose by the enzyme pepsin in the stomach and then absorbed in the small intestine.
  2. The starch remains intact until reaching the small intestine, where it is digested by bacteria into glucose, which is then absorbed by the cells lining the small intestine.
  3. The starch is dissolved in the mouth, then fermented into glucose in the large intestine, and finally transported back to the small intestine.
  4. The starch is immediately hydrolyzed into glucose by saliva in the mouth and then directly enters the bloodstream without further digestion.
  5. The starch is first converted to sucrose in the mouth, then to maltose in the stomach, and finally to glucose in the small intestine where it is absorbed.
  6. The starch is directly absorbed into the cells lining the small intestine.
  7. The starch is chewed and mixed with saliva, hydrolyzed by the enzyme amylase into maltose units, which are then hydrolyzed into glucose molecules in the small intestine, and transported into the cellular cytoplasm.
  8. The starch is broken into fructose units in the mouth, then converted to glucose in the liver, and later absorbed by the cells in the small intestine.
  9. The starch is converted into glucose in the mouth and then absorbed by the stomach.
  10. The starch is broken down into glucose in the stomach and then absorbed by the small intestine.
