Which of the following digestive enzymes is primarily responsible for digesting large polysaccharide chains into smaller oligosaccharides?
A) Isomaltase
B) Maltase
C) Alpha amylase
D) Sucrase
Homework Answers
Answer: C) Alpha amylase
Reason:
Large polysaccharides are branched polymers. Pancreatic amylase enzyme catalyzes the conversion of large polysaccharides (ex. cellulose etc.) into simple glucose chains, sucrose and maltose chains in human intestine.
