Which enzymes are likely to act on the baked potatoes eaten by a man, starting from the mouth and as it moves down the alimentary canal?
- Salivary maltase → carboxypeptidase → trypsinogen
- Pancreatic amylase → salivary amylase → lipases
- Disaccharidase like maltase → lipases → nucleases
- Salivary amylase → pancreatic amylase → disaccharidases
Correct answer: Salivary amylase → pancreatic amylase → disaccharidases
Solution
Baked potatoes are rich in starch, a carbohydrate. Starch digestion begins in the mouth with salivary amylase, continues in the small intestine with pancreatic amylase, and finishes with disaccharidases at the intestinal lining.
