Answer 9

Hint:
`The digestion of starch begins with salivary amylase, but this activity is much less important than that of pancreatic amylase in the small intestine. Amylase hydrolyzes starch, with the primary end products being maltose, maltotriose, and a -dextrins, although some glucose is also produced.`

So what kind of molecules are the end-products of hydrolysis by Amylase?
