What is digestion in simple words?
Digestion in humans is the process by which nutrients such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in the food consumed are broken down to its respective components.
How does digestion of carbohydrates and proteins take place in your body?
The digestion of carbohydrates (starches and sugars) and of protein is so different, that when they are mixed in the stomach they interfere with the digestion of each other. An acid process (gastric digestion) and an alkaline process (salivary digestion) can not be carried on at the same time in an ideal way in the stomach. In fact, they cannot proceed together at all for long as the rising acidity of the stomach contents soon completely stops carbohydrate digestion and this is followed by fermentation.
What carbohydrates require a process of digestion in order to be broken down into glucose and help maintain proper blood sugar levels?
Complex carbohydrates require digestion in order to be broken down into glucose and to help maintain proper blood sugar levels.
Does saliva mix with food to moiston it?
Yes, it does. In fact, saliva is used to begin the digestion process in foods like carbohydrates.
Respiration of carbohydrates begins in the?
mitochondriaIt starts with glycolisis. Glycolisis takes place in the cytoplasm
What carbohydrates require a prolonged process of digestion in order to be broken down?
Incorrect. Carbohydrates are digested and absorbed into the bloodstream at a much faster rate than fats and proteins. The speed at which eaten carbohydrate enter the blood stream as sugar is called the glycemic index with a range of 0 to 100. The higher the number, the faster carbohydrates increase the level of sugar in the bloodstream.
How are the processes of dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis related to the organic compuounds such as carbohydrates lipids and proteins?
The process of dehydration, synthesis and hydrolysis are related to the organic compounds such as the carbohydrates, lipids and proteins because they are involved in their digestion, egestion and storage.
What chemical substance that are absorbed by the body through the process of digestion are called?
There are many. Digestion is a twofold process; physical digestion and enzymatic digestion. Physical digestion is the act of eating food to break it into smaller parts. Enzymatic digestion is where enzymes (chemical compounds produced by the body) break the food down at a molecular level. Enzymes include salivary amylase, pepsin, lipase, trypsin and many, many more.
What type of food does your body breakdown Carbs or protein?
The process of digestion breaks down carbohydrates into sugar, and protein into amino acids; both get broken down.
