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.
What is starch broken into sugar by?
They are Broken down by Amylase Enymes.
What can diffuse through the intestinal wall?
Molecules that can pass through the wall of the small intestines are products that are broken down from starch, lipids and protiens.Starch breaks down into maltose which is then further broken down into glucose, which is absorbed by the intestine.Lipids break down into glycerol and fatty acids, which are absorbed by the intestines.Protiens break down into amino acids, which are absorbed by the intestines.Vitamins are minerals are alos absorbed by the intestines.Water is also absrobed by the small intestines, but is also absrobed by the large intestines.
What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
starch can be broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme amylase
Can salt be broken down into simpler?
Yes, it can, by starch.
What happens in the alimentary canal?
Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. Starch is broken down by enzymes. Macromolecules are broken down.
How is saturated fat digested and absorbed in the intestinal tract?
Broken down into starch and glycose
What is the first easiest thing to be broke down and absorbed by the body?
Probably starch broken down to sugar.
Why is starch not broken down at high temperatures?
The enzyme amylase is denatured by the high temp. The starch cannot be broken down

In order to obtain energy from glycogen and startch the body must do what?
It is broken down using enzymes, such as amylase, into glucose which then can be used in cell respiration.
What must proteins be broken down into before being absorbed?
Yes they do. the protein has to be digested in the stomach before absorbed there.
Starch can be broken down into the disaccharide known as?
Starch is composed of many maltose units.
Can salt be broken down into simpler?
Yes, it can, by starch.
