What else can I help you with?
What happens to the products of digestion of proteins?
they die
What substance in the stomach helps digestion?
The Stomach is where Proteins are digested. This needs an acid environment and enzymes like pepsin. The digested proteins are not absorbed into the body by the stomach - this happens further down the alimentary tract.
What happens after you drink water?
After drinking water, it is absorbed into your bloodstream and helps to hydrate your body, replenish fluids, and support various bodily functions such as digestion, circulation, and temperature regulation.
What happens to proteins in small intestine?
They are broken down and absorbed into the blood.
What happens to food as it passes through the small intestine?
Digestion is completed and absorbed into the bloodstream
What happens to a molecule off protein during digestion?
During digestion, proteins are broken down into their individual amino acids by enzymes in the stomach and small intestine. These amino acids are then absorbed into the bloodstream and used by the body for various functions such as building muscle, repairing tissues, and supporting immune function.
What happens to the food in the small intesine?
it gets broken down into smaller particles (known as digestion) and are absorbed through the gut.
What happens to the molecule of protein during digestion?
During digestion, proteins are broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids by enzymes in the stomach and small intestine. The stomach's acidic environment activates pepsin, while pancreatic enzymes like trypsin and chymotrypsin further degrade proteins into smaller chains and individual amino acids. These amino acids are then absorbed through the intestinal lining into the bloodstream, where they are transported to cells for various functions, such as building new proteins and supporting metabolism.
In addition to storage and mechanical breakdown of food what else happens in the stomach?
initiates protein digestion and denatures proteins
What happens to the proteins a person eat?
Get broken down by enzymes into soluble chunks and are absorbed by the cell walls in the body
Digestion happens in these what are they?
digestion happens in these
What happens to the food we eat in the stomach and digestive system?
The proteins are broken down to amino acids and get absorbed. Carbohydrates are broken down to glucose (and fructose) and are absorbed. Fats are broken down to fatty acids and glycerol and absorbed. Minerals and vitamins are absorbed as such.
