Proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids are primarily digested together in the mouth and the small intestine. In the mouth, enzymes like salivary amylase begin carbohydrate digestion, while mechanical breakdown occurs for proteins and fats. In the small intestine, bile salts emulsify lipids, and pancreatic enzymes further digest proteins and carbohydrates, allowing for efficient nutrient absorption.
What else can I help you with?
Name 4 polymers that are digested in the small intestine?
proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and lipids.
What are the four macromolecules of life?
The four major macromolecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
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.
What element is found in proteins but not in in carbohydrates and lipids?
Nitrogen is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids
What elements is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids?
Nitrogen is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids
What four polymers are digested in the small intestine?
The four polymers that are digested in the small intestine are proteins, carbohydrates, fats (lipids), and nucleic acids. Enzymes in the small intestine break down these polymers into their simpler monomer units, such as amino acids, sugars, fatty acids, and nucleotides, which can then be absorbed by the body.
Which elements is found in proteins but is not found in carbohydrates or lipids?
Proteins are nitrogen based while carbohydrates and lipids are not.
What do proteins have that carbohydrates and lipids don't?
They have Nitrogen in them But some carbohydrates and lipids have N
Name the polymer of carbohydrates proteins lipids and nucleic acid?

What are the types of organic compounds?
Carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.
What are the 4 main categories of macromolecules in a cell?
The four main categories of macromolecules in a cell are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Each of these macromolecules plays a crucial role in the structure, function, and regulation of cells.
What elements is found in protein but not in carbohydrates and lipids?
Nitrogen is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids
