Carbohydrates are used to turn ADP into ATP Adenosine Triphosphate. The bond with the Phosphate releases energy when its broken. Nobody seems to know what kind of energy ATP release. Please tell me if you know.

Carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars such as glucose, fructose, and galactose during digestion. These simple sugars are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the small intestine where they are transported to cells and used for energy or stored for later use.

What breaks down carbohydrates?
amylase
Why is digestion and absorption of lipids more complex than carbohydrates?
Digestion and absorption of lipids is more complex than carbohydrates because lipids are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water. This requires additional steps for lipid digestion, such as emulsification to break down large fat globules into smaller droplets. Additionally, lipids are absorbed into the bloodstream through specialized structures called micelles and chylomicrons, whereas carbohydrates are usually absorbed as simple sugars directly into the bloodstream.
Where is most of your food digested?
Most of the digestion of food occurs in the small intestine. This is where enzymes break down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body. The small intestine is also where nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream.
Absorbed lipids are initially transported by the lymphatic system. True or False?
True. Absorbed lipids from the small intestine are initially transported through the lymphatic system in the form of chylomicrons before entering the bloodstream.
Why can't proteins be absorbed into the bloodstream?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids during digestion, and these amino acids are absorbed into the bloodstream. The body cannot absorb intact proteins because they are too large to pass through the lining of the intestines and into the bloodstream.
Is fat absorbed directly into the bloodstream from the small intestine If Not Where is it absorbed?
Fats are absorbed in the small intestine, along with carbohydrates and proteins.
Nutrients absorbed into the lymph or bloodstream are in what form?
It would be monomers.
What happens when a biological organic compound such as proteins and carbohydrates are broken down or synthesized?
They are broken down into simpler molecules by the digestive system so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
Form of Carbohydrates that is not absorbed by the body that prevents colon cancer?
fiber
What is absorbed into the bloodstream by your intestines?
In the large intestine,water and mineral salts are absorbed into the bloodstream.
In what form are carbohydrates absorbed?
Carbohydrates are digested until they are mono or disaccharides and then they are absorbed through the intestinal lining.
How carbohydrates enter and break down in the human body?
Carbohydrates are broken down in the mouth by enzymes in saliva, then further digested in the small intestine by enzymes to form glucose. Glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream and used by cells for energy. Excess glucose can be stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen for later use.
Which type of sugar is absorbed most quickly by the body?
Simple carbohydrates absorb in the body more easily. They also provide the quickest source of energy to the body. Complex carbohydrates have to breakdown into simple carbohydrates before they can be absorbed by the body.
What breaks down carbohydrates?
amylase
Protein is absorbed in the bloodstream as amino acids?
Correct. The amino acid molecules are absorbed and allowed to pass to the bloodstream.
Fats are absorbed into the villi in the form of what?
Fats are absorbed into the villi in the form of fatty acids and monoglycerides. These molecules are broken down by enzymes in the small intestine and then enter the villi for absorption into the bloodstream.
Are most drugs given in oral form absorbed from the large intestine?
Most oral drugs or drugs taken by mouth travel to the stomach or intestine where they are absorbed into the bloodstream. These drugs are not effective or useful until they are absorbed into the bloodstream where they are transported to the organ or desired receptor.
