Name 4 polymers that are digested in the small intestine?

Where does fats start changing to fatty acids and glycerol?
Fats are completely digested in the small intestine
Where are proteins digested in your body and how?
After ingestion it reaches the stomach where it is broken down by acids. The food then goes to the small intestine for even further digestion. It is then taken to the large intestine where most of the water is extracted. After this long trip it is brought the rectum and is excreted through the anus.
How are nucleic acids digested?
Nucleic acids are first broken down in the duodenum of the small intestine. A hormone called cholecystokinin stimulates the release of pancreatic juice from the pancreas, and a component of this pancreatic juice is a group of enzymes called nucleases. Nucleic acids are then digested by these nucleases into single units called nucleotides.
Proteins are broken into?
Proteins are made up of amino acids connected by peptide bonds. Proteins digested in to peptides first by proteases such as pepsin. They ultimately digested to form individual amino acids that are utilized by our cells.
