Large Food Molecules in The Small Intestine!
no but has many small molecules
synthesis
Enzymes in the small intestine can break larger molecules such as proteins into smaller molecules such as amino acids. These enzymes are either produced in the pancreas and taken to the first part of the small intestine by the pancreatic duct or some enzymes may be produced by the lining of the small intestine called the "brush border" in the first part of the small intestine. Large molecules such as proteins or starch need to be broken down to smaller molecules before they can be absorbed into the bloodstream and beusableto the person's body cells.
Propane consists of small molecules. It is a simple hydrocarbon compound that is composed of three carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms.
The process of breaking down large molecules into smaller molecules is called catabolism. This process releases energy that cells can use for various functions.
Large insoluble molecules get broken down into smaller soluble molecules through processes like digestion, hydrolysis, or decomposition. This allows the body to absorb and utilize the essential nutrients present in these molecules.
Small
Small molecules are primarily absorbed in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, particularly in the small intestine. The small intestine has a large surface area due to its villi and microvilli, which facilitate efficient absorption of nutrients and drugs into the bloodstream. Some small molecules can also be absorbed in the stomach and large intestine, but the small intestine is the main site for most substances.
They help in metabolism i.e the breaking down of large food substances.
large insoluble molecules are converted to small soluble molecules outside the cell
its false, facilitated diffusion would be used on small molecules
