Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The major monosaccharide products that are produced by digestion of carbohydrates should be given.
Concept Introduction:
Carbohydrates: These molecules are large class of naturally occurring polyhydroxy
Monosaccharide: It is simple sugar the carbohydrate contain three to seven carbon atoms in respective place.
Important of digestion: It is an important process that break down the proteins, fats, carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals into simpler forms so that it can absorbed easily into body cells. During this process proteins are converted into amino acids, carbohydrates are converted into simple sugars and fats are broken down into fatty acid and glycerol.
