Order the steps of carbohydrate digestion: a. Fiber continues to the large intestine, where some is metabolized by bacteria in the colon and the majority eliminated in your stool
b. Saliva contains amylase enzyme, which starts breaking down amylose and amylopectin into smaller starch units and maltose
c. Maltose and other disaccharides are broken down to monosaccharides and absorbed into blood
d. In small intestine, pancreatic amylase breaks down remaining starch into maltose
