What happens to glucose and amino acids when they are absorbed into the blood stream?
After the glucose is absorbed into the blood it is taken to the liver and is either stored or distributed to cells throughout the body for energy.
To provide enough energy for the body the liver regulates blood glucose levels.
Example: excess glucose is converted to glycogen in the liver and is stored. Likewise, if blood sugar levels fall it is reconverted back to glucose.
Not sure about amino acids :P
What else can I help you with?
What happens if you have to much calcium around your heart?
NO. Calcium is actually one of the more essential nutrients that are needed in the human's body. It is fatty acids and obesity that gives you heart problems, not calcium.
How does Trans Fatty Acid influence Heart Disease?
Yes, and is actually worse than the sys form of fatty acids. The only difference between sys and trans fatty acids are the angles of the molecules. In nature, only sys fatty acids are made, but through chemistry (or through over heating oils), we are able to make trans fatty acids. The problem is that your body can only recognize the sys form. So if you have sys fatty acids in your body, your body knows how to remove them, but if you have trans fatty acids in your body, your body doesn't know how to remove them. As a result the trans fatty acids build up in your system and can cause heart disease. Sys fatty acids can cause heart disease also, but since your body is constantly removing them, it forms slower than the trans form.
Complete the concept map by using the fallowing vocabulary terms nucleotides protein enzymes nucleic acids?
enzymes made of proteins breakdown nucleic acids to form nucleotides
What is the preferred source of energy for the heart muscle?
The preferred source of energy for the heart muscle is fatty acids. Fatty acids are "good fats" that are main sources of energy for cells.
How can rheumatoid arthritis be treated with omega-3 fatty acids?
Because omega-3 fatty acids inhibit the action of inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes, they can help control arthritis symptoms.
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 are substances not absorbed into the bloodstream from the digestive system?
amino acids glucose fatty acids n glycerol or absorbed in to the blood in the ileum
Where are glucose and amino acids normally absorbed?
Glucose is normally absorbed in the small intestine, primarily in the jejunum and upper ileum. Amino acids are also absorbed in the small intestine, primarily in the duodenum and jejunum.
Where are glucose fatty acids and amino acids absorbed into the blood?
Glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids are primarily absorbed into the blood in the small intestine. Specifically, glucose and amino acids are absorbed through the intestinal villi into the bloodstream via active transport mechanisms, while fatty acids are absorbed into the lymphatic system and eventually enter the bloodstream through the thoracic duct. This absorption allows essential nutrients to be delivered to cells throughout the body for energy and growth.
Which nutrient must be converted into a chylomicron when being absorbed?
1. triglycerides 2. glucose 3. starch 4. amino acids
Whoch blood vessels have the hishest concentration of Amino acids and Glucose?
All of the nutrients absorbed by the small intestine (including amino acids and glucose) travel through the hepatic portal vein to the liver.
How does absorption of fat differ from glucose?
Fat is absorbed by lacteals in the small intestine these have large surface areas to help with absorption and capillaries to absorb the fatty acids. Glucose and Amino acids is absorbed in the glomerulus in the kidney transported by the blood to the heart etc then it is reabsorbed in the bowman's capsule in the kidney.
What happens after digestion of protein's are absorbed into circulation?
free amino acids only
Where does glucose go when it leaves the small intestine?
After leaving the gut, the liver is the first tissue to use dietary glucose. In the liver, glucose can be converted to glycogen to be stored or distributed through out the body for energy. It can also be converted to fatty acids. The conversion of glucose to fatty acids usually only happens if energy intake has exceeds energy expenditure.
Compared to the ingested food molecules the end product molecules of digestion are usually?
Smaller and simpler molecules that can be absorbed by the body, such as glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids.
Names of the materials are absorbed by the small and large intestine?
The small intestine absorbs nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, while the large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes. Examples of nutrients absorbed in the small intestine include glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids, while water and electrolytes like sodium and potassium are absorbed in the large intestine.
Why must your stomach have digestive juices?
Digestive juices are acids that dissolve food down into smaller pieces so it can be absorbed into the blood stream .
