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.
Absorption mainly occurs in the small intestine, but a portion of it is also carried out in the stomach and the large intestine. Absorption can take place in two stages in the small intestine. These are called the luminal and membranous stages.
