The end products of digestion of carbohydrates is monosaccharides such as glucose. Which is then absorbed in the small intestine and transported to cells so they can go through cellular respiration in order to create ATP.

What is the enzyme produced by the salivary glands that initiates carbohydrate digestion in the mouth?

The enzyme produced by the salivary glands that initiates carbohydrate digestion in the mouth is called salivary amylase. It breaks down starches into smaller sugars like maltose and dextrin to begin the process of carbohydrate digestion.


What is one product that is formed during the digestion of triglycerides?

One product formed during the digestion of triglycerides is fatty acids.


What is the difference between starch and fiber in terms of their impact on digestion and overall health?

Starch is a type of carbohydrate that is broken down into sugars during digestion, providing energy. Fiber, on the other hand, is a type of carbohydrate that cannot be fully digested and helps with digestion by promoting bowel regularity and supporting gut health. While starch provides energy, fiber helps with digestion and overall health by regulating blood sugar levels, reducing cholesterol, and promoting a feeling of fullness.


Discuss the role that fiber plays in the process of carbohydrate digestion?

While fiber may increase stool volume and slow the rate of digestion (at least insoluble fiber), the actual process of digestion would be unaffected by fiber, as compared to the effects of amylase and pepsin in the GI tract.


The end product of chemical digestion of proteins?

The end product of the chemical digestion of proteins is amino acids. This process occurs in the stomach and small intestine, where proteins are broken down into amino acids by digestive enzymes. Amino acids are then absorbed into the bloodstream and used by the body for various functions, such as building and repairing tissues.
