I still encounter this misconception in students' answers even after correcting this for ZILLIONth of time. Some students still have this conception that the products of starch digestion by AMYLASE is GLUCOSE........ NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO................................. Its MALTOSE OK.......
Repeat after me M A L T O S E .... Got it? I hope so............ Now to get GLUCOSE out of starch, you must have another enzyme to digest this maltose..... The enzyme is MALTASE....
I hope I will not encounter this misconception ever again.....
