The enzyme that breaks down starch into maltose in the small intestine is:
A. Maltase
B. Salivary amylase
C. Sucrase
D. Pancreatic amylase

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Pancreatic amylase, secreted into the duodenum, continues starch digestion initiated by salivary amylase, producing maltose and dextrins. Maltase then breaks maltose to glucose. Sucrase acts on sucrose.

Question #2
The majority of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood is transported as:
A. Bicarbonate ions (HCO3-)
B. Carbonic acid
C. Dissolved CO2 in plasma
D. Carbaminohemoglobin

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Approximately 70% of CO2 is transported in the blood as bicarbonate ions (HCO3-). CO2 diffuses into red blood cells, where it reacts with water to form carbonic acid, catalyzed by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. Carbonic acid then dissociates into H+ and HCO3-, which moves into the plasma. About 20-25% is carried as carbaminohemoglobin.
