What breaks complex sugars into simple sugars and proteins down to amino acids?
The enzyme amylase breaks the complex sugars into simple sugars. The enzyme pepsin in the stomach breake the peptide bond to get peptides. The enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin from pancreas break the peptides to amino acids, in the small intestine.
What proteins are formed by the linkage of monomers?
amino acids
Which statement is true simple sugars are made of polysaccharides glycerol is made of fatty acids DNA is made of nucleotides amino acids are made of proteins?
Statement three is true; glycerol combined with fatty acids become glycerides, polysaccharides are comprised of simple sugar monomers and proteins are composed from a pallette of primarily twenty amino acids.
What are carbohydrates fats and proteins broken down to in the small intestine?
Carbohydrates and fats are broken down in the digestive tract into the simple sugars, glucose, fructose, and galactose. The latter two can be converted by the body into glucose, which is distributed throughout the body via the bloodstream and is broken down into Carbon Dioxide and water in the mitochondria of cells. Proteins are broken down into their constituent amino acids, which are used to assemble new proteins throughout the body.
A cell membrane is relatively impermeable to substances that are?
water-soluble molecules such as amino acids, sugars, protiens, nucleic acids, and various ions
How does the absorption of fatty acids and glycerol differ from the absorption of amino acids and simple sugars?
Once the lipid undergoes lipid digestion it can undergo simple diffusion across the plasma membrane. Glucose and amino acids require transport via a carrier molecule.
What are some simple compounds?
Some simple compounds can be simple sugars and amino acids, anything to do with acids and high fructose sugars.
What Starches are to simple sugars as proteins are to?
amino acids
Are amino acids monomers of disaccharides?
No, amino acids are the monomers of proteins. The monomers of disaccharides are simple sugars.
Are amino sugars part of amino acids?
no amino sugars are not part of amino acid
What breaks complex sugars into simple sugars and proteins down to amino acids?
The enzyme amylase breaks the complex sugars into simple sugars. The enzyme pepsin in the stomach breake the peptide bond to get peptides. The enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin from pancreas break the peptides to amino acids, in the small intestine.
Do enzymes break down into simple sugars?
No, protein is broken down into amino acids. Simple sugars are only formed when carbohydrates are digested.
Are carbohydrate amino acid?
No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Carbohydrates contain simple sugars (monosaccharides) and polymers of sugars (disaccharides and polysaccharides).
What does pancreatic juices do?
This fluid contains enzymes that break down sugars and starches into simple sugars, fats into fatty acids and glycerol, and proteins into amino acids.
How do simple sugars combine with amino acids and lipids?
They all contain (have) Carbon ,Hydrogen, and Oxygen
Are (amino acids sugars) and this reaction results in the formation of what kind of bonds?
a. sugars; ionic bonds. b. sugars; peptide bonds. c. amino acids; peptide bonds. d. amino acids; hydrogen bonds. e. amino acids; glycosidic bonds.
What is different about the absorption of the products of fat digestion compared to other products?
The absorption of amino acids, simple sugars (such as glucose), vitamins and minerals involves active transport processes. in contrast, the products of fat (fatty acids) digestion are lipid-soluble molecules and are able to diffuse easily through the membranes of the intestinal cells.
