The correct answer is option 1, which is glucose. Glucose is the monosaccharide that is produced at the end of the digestion process of starch in the alimentary canal. Starch is a complex carbohydrate, composed of many glucose molecules linked together. During the process of digestion, starch is broken down into smaller molecules by the enzyme amylase. This process occurs mainly in the mouth and small intestine. The smaller molecules of starch, which are called maltose, are further broken down into glucose by the enzyme maltase, which is produced by the small intestine. Glucose is then absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to cells throughout the body to be used as a source of energy.
