Question

Hormones break down the complex food molecules into simpler forms.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Digestive enzymes break down the complex food molecules into simpler forms so that these can be readily absorbed by the body. For example, proteases and peptidases split proteins into amino acids and peptides. Lipases split fat into three fatty acid molecules and a glycerol molecule. Amylases split carbohydrates such as starch and complex sugars into simple sugars such as glucose.
