These problems may include the following: Children born to teenage mothers are less likely to receive proper nutrition, health care, and cognitive and social stimulation. As a result, they are at risk for lower academic achievement.
The majority of carbohydrate digestion occurs in the small intestine. It is here that disaccharides (sugars composed of two monosaccharides) like sucrose, maltose, and lactose are broken down into monosaccharides, which are then absorbed directly into the cells that form the intestinal lining.igestion of starch begins in the mouth with the chewing of food (mastication) and the production of amylases immediately breaking down certain starches.
Digestion takes place whenever and wherever food comes into contact with digestive enzymes. Salivary glands at the base of the tongue secrete enzymes that begin the digestion of carbohydrates. Enzymes secreted by the lining of the stomach are involved in protein, fat and milk digestion.
