When you ingest large molecules such as lipids carbohydrates and proteins they must undergo catabolic reactions whereby enzymes split these molecules?
chemical digestion
What is a lipids role in nutrition?
Lipids are fats broken down by digestion.
What is the process of breaking lipids into smaller molecules?
To put it short, Digestion. The lipids need to go through emulsification before being digested. The gall bladder stores bile for emulsifying fats prior to digestion.
Is the bile a digestive system?
Bile, produced by the liver aids in the digestion of lipids. Lipids are triglycerides that have various functions in the body, including digestion.
Do all organisms use the same process to produce lipids?
No not all organisms use the same process to produce lipids. Lipids are produced in a variety of ways depending on the organism. Generally lipids are produced through either biosynthesis or digestion. Biosynthesis is a metabolic process that involves the building of molecules from smaller components often with the input of energy from ATP. This is the process used by plants and some microorganisms to produce lipids. Digestion is the process of breaking down complex molecules into simpler components. This is the process used by animals to obtain lipids from food sources.In some cases lipids are also produced through chemical processes such as the hydrogenation of vegetable oils.
Do lipids enter the bloodstream after digestion?
yes
What is the function of a polysaccharide?
Polysaccharides are made of many glucose molecules. During digestion these molecules get separated and digested. They are the source of energy and in body they are stored as a polymer of glucose called glycogen.
What organic molecules that can be broken down during cellular respiration can be obtained from?
polysaccharides, proteins and lipids
What are lipids of large molecules?
Lipids are fats, or to be technical, they are non-polar organic molecules. They do form large molecules but they do not polymerize.
Do bile salts produce lipids?
No, bile salts emulsify lipids to aid in their digestion.
What assist in the digestion of lipids?
the contraction of stomach walls produces heat and digist lipids
Lipids are what type of molecules?
Fat molecules
