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 only takes place within the digestive tract. The digestive tract begins with the mouth and ends with the anus. Digestion of food in humans is a process that occurs inside of cells. Digestive enzymes are secreted into the tract by glands located either in the tract or nearby. Food is never found within accessory glands, only within the tract itself.
