Why can protein and starch not be absorbed directly into the body?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Because starch is a polymer of sugar molecules (lots of them all bound together as a store of sugar) and the cells in the body can only metabolize individual sugar molecules. Therefore the starch needs to be broken up into its individual sugars before it is any use to the cells.

What carbohydrates is not absorbed by our body?

glocuse is produced from starch ..
What is a protein chemist?
A protein chemist is a chemist that studies the properties of proteins. Protein chemists study the structure of protein and how it is absorbed into the body.
What is the first easiest thing to be broke down and absorbed by the body?
Probably starch broken down to sugar.
What is the difference between soluble Non-Starch Polysaccharide and non-soluble Non-Starch Polysaccharide?
soluble is absorbed into the blood and non soluable isn't digested it passes through the body. soluble is absorbed into the blood and non soluable isn't digested it passes through the body.
Does starch stay in the body?
Starch is in the food like rice and bread. So, eating rice and bread means eating starch. When you eat rice or bread, they go to your tummy so starch also goes to your tummy.
Is it good drinking a protein shake before going to bed?
while sleeping, we stay without food for at least 8 hours and our body gets in a catabolic stage...so it is important that before bed we give some protein to our body..but it is better that the protein is not fast absorbed but slowly absorbed so we have amino-acids through our body during the whole night and not the first 2-3 hours(that's how long takes for whey to be absorbed)...if your protein shake is with casein protein then it's ok..or you can better have some cottage cheese that also contains casein(slowly absorbed protein)...
Name one quantity that must be know in order to determine the amount of heat associated with a body?
There are three: Energy absorbed by a body is directly proportional to the rise in temperature of a body Heat energy absorbed by a body is directly proportional to the mass of the body Heat energy absorbed by a body depends upon its nature and is commonly called specific heat capacity.
Why do peanuts contain starch protein and fats?
because its is from the body so it hav all of the above
How does protein in food become protein in the body?
Proteins are made of molecules called amino acids. When proteins enter the Body, they are broken up into amino acids that are more easily absorbed by the Body.
Is protein found in supplements better quality and absorbed better by the human body than the protein found in food?
i think that is more way better to protein food
How does concentration of amylase affect starch digestion?
Starch is a complex carbohydrate or polysaccharide, which consists of many monosaccharide molecules (glucose) joined together.Since the cell in the body has partially permeable membrane, it cannot absorb big size molecules, such as starch and protein.Hence, starch needs to be broken down to glucose before it can be absorbed into the cells of the body.
