What else can I help you with?
Why only the starchy foods start to be chemically digested?
It's because in the mouth we masticate the food.Mastication increases the surface area of the food which helps to accelerate the breakdown of the carbohydrate molecules.Whereas in other parts of the digestive system where foods are chemically digested mastication does not occur.so foods containing starch start to be chemically digested.
What is chemically digested in the stomach?
food!!
In which sections of the digestive system are proteins digested?
it is digested to your muscles.
What is the first nutrient to be chemically digested?
It is starch! I think
What waste chemical comes from the breakdown of proteins?
Breakdown of proteins produce aminoacids.
Where are Proteins are digested in?
In the stomach; where the breakdown enzyme (pepsin) is at an optimum pH of 1-2 When broken down they form amino acids which are absorbed into the bloodstream by the ileum of the small intestine.
In which two areas are proteins carbohydrates and lipids digested together?
Proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids are primarily digested together in the mouth and the small intestine. In the mouth, enzymes like salivary amylase begin carbohydrate digestion, while mechanical breakdown occurs for proteins and fats. In the small intestine, bile salts emulsify lipids, and pancreatic enzymes further digest proteins and carbohydrates, allowing for efficient nutrient absorption.
What enzyme begins the breakdown of protein?
The enzyme pepsin, found in the stomach, is responsible for beginning the breakdown of proteins into smaller peptides. It works in an acidic environment to break down proteins into smaller peptides that can be further digested and absorbed by the body.
What do proteins get digested into?
Amino acids
What organic molecules are chemically digested in the small intestine?
proteinslipidscarbohydrates
Where are proteins digested in your body?
In the stomach; where the breakdown enzyme (pepsin) is at an optimum pH of 1-2 When broken down they form amino acids which are absorbed into the bloodstream by the ileum of the small intestine.
What happens when food gets digested in your body?
When food gets digested in our body, energy is released after its breakdown.
