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.
Organic compounds, such as proteins and starches, are too A to diffuse into cells Proteins are digested into B and starches are digested into C?
Organic compounds, such as proteins and starches, are too large to diffues into cells. Proteins are digested into amino acids nd starches are digested into simple 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.
Name and briefly describe 4 types of molecules found in a cell?
ATP RNA amino acids proteins including enzymes lipids carbohydrates including sugars
Which statement concerning simple sugars and imino acids is correct?
they are both needed for the synthesis of larger molecules
What are some simple compounds?
Some simple compounds can be simple sugars and amino acids, anything to do with acids and high fructose sugars.

Organic compounds, such as proteins and starches, are too large to diffues into cells. Proteins are digested into amino acids nd starches are digested into simple sugars
What Starches are to simple sugars as proteins are to?
amino acids
What are the smaller molecules made when protein carbohydrate and protein are digested?
Protein is digested to form amino acids. Lipids are digested to fatty acids. Carbohydrates are digested to glucose and other simple sugars.
Do enzymes break down into simple sugars?
No, protein is broken down into amino acids. Simple sugars are only formed when carbohydrates are digested.
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.
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.
Are amino acids monomers of disaccharides?
No, amino acids are the monomers of proteins. The monomers of disaccharides are simple sugars.
Is maltose an amino acid?
yes it is.but only after it is mixed with the amylase that comes from pancreatic juice.
A cell membrane is relatively impermeable to substances that are?
water-soluble molecules such as amino acids, sugars, protiens, nucleic acids, and various ions
