What carbohydrates require a prolonged process of digestion in order to be broken down?
Mae2014
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.

What type of foods don't require chemical and physical digestion?

What are specific processes that occur in cells that require enzymes?
digestion
What action which does not require thinking?
Reflex actions do not require thinking, nor do the actions of involuntary muscles.
When two amino acids break apart they require water What is this process called?

Where are carbohydrates lipids and proteins broke down in the GI tract?
Carbohydrates and proteins are digested in the stomach. Carbs require several enzymes to be digested, such as the enzyme salivary amylase (secreted in the mouth); digestion ultimately occurs at the level of the stomach. Proteins are also digested in the stomach, but require a general class of enzymes called proteases in order to be digested. Lipids are digested in the duodenum, the first portion of the small intestine. The secretion of lipase enzymes is necessary to complete this task.
What are common complications in newborns who require prolonged or substantial resuscitation?
Pulmonary hypertension, hypoglycemia, & hypothermia
Why are lipids harder to break down than carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are broken down in digestion. Carbohydrates are easier to break down because carbohydrates are soluble in water, But on the other hand Lipids are much harder to break down because Lipids (fats) come in the form grease and oil. Grease is solid at room temperature, While oil is liquid. Fats require special digestive action before absorption because the end products must be carried away in a water medium (Blood and Lymph) in which fats are not soluble.
What do zebras and humans digestive systems have in common?
They both require mechanical and chemical digestion.
Why is light algae important?
Algae are autotrophic, meaning they require sunlight to grow and survive. Algae get their energy directly from light and also go through the process of photosynthesis in order to produce fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
