Name three enzymes of small intestine, which catalyze the hydrolysis of carbohydrates

Answer 1

Pancreatic amylase is present in the pancreatic juice secreted by the pancreas. Pancreatic amylase breaks down polysaccharides into maltose and the enzyme maltase secreted in the small intestine breaks down maltose into two units of glucose. Enzyme lactase is also present in the small intestine that converts lactose into glucose and galactose.
