Digestion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How are carbs digested and absorbed?: 1 | begins with alpha amylase in the mouth; gets deactivated in the stomach by high pH |
| How are carbs digested and absorbed?: 2 | in small intestine, amylase from the pancreas digests starches into disaccharides that get broken down into monoglycerides |
| How are carbs digested and absorbed?: 3 | monoglycerides, monosaccharides (glucose, galactose and fructose) are absorbed by secondary active transport |
| How are carbs digested and absorbed?: 4 | Smaller peptides are absorbed by receptor-mediated endocytosis |
| How are carbs digested and absorbed?: 5 | Glucose can be converted into fat for storage |
| How are proteins digested and absorbed?: 1 | Starts in the stomach, pepcinogen gets converted into pepcin |
| How are proteins digested and absorbed?: 2 | pepsin breaks into smaller pieces and is absorbed in the small intestine |
| How are proteins digested and absorbed?: 3 | structural or hormonal get converted into amino acids, get absorbed and become part of the amino acid pool |
| How are proteins digested and absorbed?: 4 | these proteins can be used to replace protein in cells |
| How are proteins digested and absorbed?: 5 | can be converted to glucose, NH2 group is removed and combined with NH3 to become ammonia |
| How are proteins digested and absorbed?: 6 | ammonia is converted to urea and excreted |
| How are fats digested and absorbed?: 1 | mechanical digestion involving cheeks, tongue and teeth, salivary amylase and salivary lipase |
| How are fats digested and absorbed?: 2 | continuation of specific chemical digestions that begun in oral cavity |
| How are fats digested and absorbed?: 3 | retropulsion |
| How are fats digested and absorbed?: 4 | non specific chemical digestion: H+ secretion by parietal cells |
| How are fats digested and absorbed?: 5 | specific chemical digestion: (proteins) by pepsin secreted by cheif cells and gastric lipase |
| How are fats digested and absorbed?: 6 | intrinsic factor: secreted by parietal cells, necessary for absorption of B12 |
| How are fats digested and absorbed?: 7 | emulsification of fats by bile salts from the liver; sort of mechanical digestion of fats |
| How are fats digested and absorbed?: 8 |
