When most proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are digested completely, they are converted to the end products that are soluble and can easily pass through cell membranes.

The time the body takes to change carbohydrates into fat?

When you intake excess carbohydrates than you required it is turned to fat. Not only carbohydrates, proteins will also turns to fat if taken in excess. But there are times when carbohydrates won't change to fat. These are post workout meal and breakfast.


What two chemicals are used in the qualitative tests for carbohydrates and proteins?

Benedict's solution is used for testing carbohydrates, specifically for detecting reducing sugars. Biuret reagent is used for testing proteins, specifically for detecting peptide bonds through a color change from blue to purple.

What do proteins turn into?

Proteins are broken down into amino acids through the process of digestion. Amino acids are then used by the body for various functions including building new proteins, supporting immune function, and providing energy.

How Fat-Loss is Achieved With the Atkins Diet Phase 1?

Contrary to popular belief, the Atkins diet is not a no-carbohydrate diet, nor is it a bacon and fat diet. The Atkins Diet consists of several different phases, and each phase serves a different purpose. The Atkins Diet phase 1, or Induction, is a two-week preparation phase designed to make the body change from burning carbohydrates for energy to burning fat for energy. Carbohydrates are easy for the body to use for energy. This is because their structure is very close to glucose, which is the main sugar the body uses for fuel. There are two kinds of carbohydrates, simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates are sugars, including glucose, fructose, lactose and galactose. Complex carbohydrates are also sugars, but they are in long chains that take more time to be digested than simple carbohydrates. However, when complex carbohydrates are digested, they revert to the simple sugar glucose. Any carbohydrates not used for energy get stored as fat. It is possible to change the body's metabolism from burning carbohydrates for energy to burning fat for energy. To change it, the amount of carbohydrates in the diet needs to be reduced. Without carbohydrates to burn for energy, the body uses the fat in the bloodstream for energy. When that is gone, it will start using stored fat. This is the reason that in phase 1 of the Atkins Diet carbohydrates are drastically reduced. In a normal diet, someone could eat well over 200 grams of carbohydrates a day. Phase 1 reduces the amount to 20 net carbohydrates a day. This is to turn the body into fat-burning mode as fast as possible. The change over can be difficult, and many dieters complain of carbohydrate withdrawal during the Atkins Diet phase 1. Its nickname is "induction flu" because of the symptoms. Headaches, nausea and loss of concentration are some of the biggest complaints. Luckily, they dissipate when the body gets used to burning fat for fuel.


Is food being digested in the stomach a physical change?

digesting food is a chemical change because- 1)it is irreversible and permanent. 2)it involves heat change(heat energy is evolved). 3)the final products cant be changed into original form by simple physical methods. 4)C6H12O6=co2+h2o+heat energy


Why does the amount of nitrogen not change during respiration process?

Because it takes no part in any of the reactions.


Is digesting food an example of change of state?

Yes it is a change of state when the food is being digested. Solid food particles are changed into semisolid type of liquid in the stomach where it is further digested. Food molecules have to be changed into simple units before it can be absorbed into our cells.


What are the pigment proteins that transfer electrons and change colors known as?

Pigment proteins that transfer electrons and change colors are known as chromoproteins. These proteins are capable of absorbing and releasing light in different wavelengths, resulting in the change of color.


Which phase of digestion occurs when you think about see or taste food?

A chemial change because during digestion carbohydrates are converted into simple sugar units,proteins into amino acids and so on, water and enzymes present in the body catalysed these reactions.
