Concept explainers
To describe:
The process of what happens to the molecule of carbon in a chemical sense which is present in an apple after it is eaten. Analyze the enzymes present, which break down the starch molecule into simpler carbohydrates and glucose, which is absorbed in the blood stream and is used for the production of .
Introduction:
Apple is a fruit is also known as “Malus domestica”. It is a rich source of various vitamin , copper, magnesium, and manganese.
Explanation of Solution
The steps involved in the digestion of apple include:
1) The digestion of starch in the apple by the action of salivary amylase enzyme.
2) The enzyme pancreatic amylase digests the starch in apple to produce glucose molecules.
3) Glucose penetrates the layer of the epithelial cell membrane and reaches blood vessels.
4) It then reaches various organs for producing energy in the
5) The energy is produced due to the synthesis of the molecule of , inside the cell.
Apple contains starch, which is a
