How does the absorption of fatty acids and glycerol differ from the absorption of amino acids and simple sugars?

Once the lipid undergoes lipid digestion it can undergo simple diffusion across the plasma membrane. Glucose and amino acids require transport via a carrier molecule.

How do fatty acid molecules differ from glycerol?
Yes, it's complex because it is a polysaccharide.
What are simple sugars known as?
They are sugars that the body can use directly, unlike complex sugars which the body has to first break down. Glucose is an example.
What initial product does hydrolysis of starch produce?
Hydrolysis of starch produces simple sugars. This simple sugars then pass through various mechanism to yield ATP molecules. Starch is a storage polysaccride.
What is a tryglyceride?
A triglycerol is not the same as a tryglyceride. Be careful. Triglycerol is essentially 3 glycerol molecules hooked together by ether bonds. A triglyceride is a glycerol molecule with 3 fatty acids attached via ester bonds (it is a lipid).
What is a monomer for disaccharide?
A Disaccharide, or double sugar, is comprised of two monosaccharides (simple sugars) through a dehydration reaction. So a monomer for any disaccharide can be any basic isomerism of any monosaccharide such as: glucose, fructose, or galactose.
What does pancreatic juices do?
This fluid contains enzymes that break down sugars and starches into simple sugars, fats into fatty acids and glycerol, and proteins into amino acids.
Where does absorption of amino acids and simple sugars take place?
The absorption for any nutrient occurs in the small intestine
Which nutrients enter the bloodstream?
Amino acids, mono-sugars, fatty acids, glycerol, minerals and vitamins enter the blood stream. They enter from the portal venous system. You get amino acids from the protein digestion. You get mono-sugars from the carbohydrate digestion. You get the fatty acids and glycerol from the digestion of the fats. Vitamins and minerals need no digestion, before absorption.
Which statement is true simple sugars are made of polysaccharides glycerol is made of fatty acids DNA is made of nucleotides amino acids are made of proteins?
Statement three is true; glycerol combined with fatty acids become glycerides, polysaccharides are comprised of simple sugar monomers and proteins are composed from a pallette of primarily twenty amino acids.
Is glycerol sugar?
Yes it is. Glycerol is a simple polyol compound. Polyol's are alcohols with multiple OH (hydroxyl) groups.
Is glycerin vegan?
Glycerin/ glycerol can be produced from animal fats, synthesised or by fermentation of sugars.
Summarize the differences between simple sugars double sugars and complex sugars?
simple sugars are the sugars that are bad for the body and then the double are the sugars that are twice as bad and takes out more energy during the breakdown of the body . complex sugars are pretty self explanatory . :D Also, simple sugars are sugars that the body can use directly, while complex sugars take along time to be broken down.
When a poisoned cells mitochondria inhibits the absorption of glucose and galactose but not that of fructose what processes are the sugars absorbed?
protein absorption through ketoacidosis
What are some simple compounds?
Some simple compounds can be simple sugars and amino acids, anything to do with acids and high fructose sugars.
Do fats and water soluble molecules such as sugars get absorbed from the intestine directly into the blood?
The simple sugars do but not the fats. The presence of fat in the small intestine produces hormones that stimulate the release of pancreatic lipase from the pancreas and bile from the liver which helps in the emulsification of fats for absorption as fatty acids.
Can monosaccharide be hydrolyzed?
Monosaccharides are simple sugars. They are carbohydrates and one class of carbs is simple sugars and the 2 parts of simple sugars are mono- and di- saccharides
What are simple carbohydrate's?
sugars
