What four polymers are digested in the small intestine?
Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids
Why lipids are not digested inside the stomach?
becuase the body stores them for later AKA FAT! Because the enzymes needed to digest lipids are not found in the stomach.
Do lipids need to be digested before they can be absorbed?
Yes- to be more specific they are "emulsified" by bile, before it is absorbed.
Which organ absorbs water and vitamin k from digested food?
The large intestine absorbs water from digested food. Vitamin K is absorbed by the small intestine. Normal bacteria in the intestine seem to have an important role in vitamin K absorption.
What is the first organ to develops the embryo?
The first organ to develop in the embryo is the heart. In a fetus, there is a brain, but it isn't fully developed and can't understand signals from the nervous system. Therefore the first functional organ would be the heart. But the first thing to start developing in a fetus is the nervous system. ( no that isn't an organ )
Are lipids digested in the small intestine?
Yes.
Which organic molecule is digested into simple sugar?
lipids
Where are carbohydrates lipids and proteins broke down in the GI tract?
Carbohydrates and proteins are digested in the stomach. Carbs require several enzymes to be digested, such as the enzyme salivary amylase (secreted in the mouth); digestion ultimately occurs at the level of the stomach. Proteins are also digested in the stomach, but require a general class of enzymes called proteases in order to be digested. Lipids are digested in the duodenum, the first portion of the small intestine. The secretion of lipase enzymes is necessary to complete this task.
Lipids are digested into what end products?
Monosaccharides.
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.
What organ absorbs the digested food into the blood?
The small intestine absorbs digested food into the blood.
Where are lipids first digested?
by bile in the stomach then by lipase by bile in the stomach then by lipase
Which organ help the digested food get by the blood?
Intestines
What organ absorbs digested food?
The small intestines.
Is phospholipid an organ?
Yes. All lipids are organic.
Is lipids an organism?
"Lipid" is a fat or oil, not an organ.
