Carbohydrates:
Salivary amylase - enzyme in the saliva which breaks starch and complex chains down.
Pancreatic amylase - enzyme produced in the pancreas which reduces carbs to disaccharides.
Intestinal amylase - enzyme produced in the intestine of the small intestine that finalises breakdown into glucose.
Protein:
Pepsin - enzyme in the stomach that reduces protein into polypeptides
Pancreatic trypsin and protease - enzymes that finalises breakdown of polypeptides into amino acids to be absorbed.
Lipids (Fats):
Bile - NOT an enzyme - produced in the liver to emulsify (break into smaller pieces) fat into smaller droplets
Pancreatic lipase - enzyme that finalises breakdown of fat into fatty acids and glycerol.
Yes, fruit juices contain carbohydrates. Some contain more carbohydrates than other do just as some fruits contain more carbohydrates than others do.
Its the saliva, secreted by salivary gland which carries out the digestion of 30% of carbohydrates in mouth.
Pepsin is the "digestive juice" that digests proteins.
lipase breaks down fat into glycerol and fatty acids
The digestive processes in the small intestine are unique because it it the only place in your body where all types of food are digested; proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.
Orange juice is one of the best sources of instant energy. It not only gives you energy but also acts as an antioxidant
In the digestive system, digestion starts in your mouth. Your teeth grind your food into small pieces. Your digestive juices can only work on the outside of food. by grinding food into small pieces, it gives your food a whole lot more area for your digestive juices to work on. Also the saliva in your mouth is a digestive juice. It starts the process of digesting carbohydrates.
None. Carbohydrates are only found in plants.
No, but you can have juice with just juice.
has only a single openning
Vegetables and fish are some of the healthiest foods that you can eat. Pastas and rice are also okay as long as you are eating them in moderation. You're body only needs a certain amount of carbohydrates which is used for energy, but any extras are stored as fat. You should not drink only milk or juice. According to my nutritionist, a person should only have an 8oz glass of milk and juice per day. Your body does not need more than that. Fresh fruits are always better than fruit juice. The best thing to drink is water.
No. Carbohydrates are only Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen -- no Nitrogen in them
A digestive system with only one opening is called an incomplete digestive tract. Organisms with this type of digestive system ingest food and eject waste through their mouth.
Cells use lipids when carbohydrates are not available.
