In which part of body maltose convert to Glucose?

A. Stomach
B. Small intestine
C. Large intestine
D. Liver
Correct Answer: B. Small intestine
Explanation: Maltose (malt sugar) is a disaccharide consisting of two bonded glucose molecules. Its digestion is finalized in the human digestive system through specific enzymatic actions within the small intestine.


### Important Facts:

  • Enzyme: The enzyme maltase, located on the brush border microvilli of the small intestine wall, breaks down maltose into two individual units of glucose.

  • Absorption: Once converted into simple glucose, it is readily absorbed through the intestinal walls into the bloodstream for energy.

  • Salivary Start: While starch breakdown begins in the mouth via salivary amylase, actual maltose conversion to glucose happens exclusively in the small intestine.
