No, starch cannot diffuse into the human bloodstream without being digested. Starch is a complex carbohydrate that must first be broken down into simpler sugars, primarily glucose, through the process of digestion. This breakdown occurs in the mouth and small intestine via enzymes like amylase. Only after starch is digested into glucose can it be absorbed into the bloodstream.

What molecule can diffuse from the digestive tract into the human blood stream without first being digested?

Alcohol (ethanol) can diffuse from the digestive tract into the bloodstream without being digested. This is why alcohol can quickly enter the bloodstream and reach the brain, leading to its effects on the central nervous system.


What does starch get digested into?

when starch is digested it gets broken up and turned into glucose (sugar). This happens so it can get to the blood stream as starch is too big as a particle to get through the walls of your veins. As glucose particles are smaller, it easier to get through.


Where do we get starch from?

They can be broken down in your blood stream or your liver.


What substance sugar or starch is more likely to diffuse through the small intestine and into the blood stream?

Sugars are more likely to diffuse through the small intestine and into the bloodstream compared to starch. This is because sugars, such as glucose and fructose, are simple carbohydrates that can be directly absorbed by the intestinal lining. In contrast, starches are complex carbohydrates that must first be broken down into simpler sugars by enzymes before absorption can occur. As a result, sugars can enter the bloodstream more readily than starches.


Why should the food be digested system?

so that the nutrients are absorbed to the blood stream


What body system does the digestive system rely on to transport digested food molecules?

The large intestines, or colons to be specific, transport digested food molecules into the blood stream


Explain why digestion of starch to glucose is necessary?

Starch is a large macromolecule, so needs to be broken down into simple sugars which can be absorbed into the blood stream


Can you pass a drug test if you have digested sperm with narcotics in it?

No. But, their is a small chance of it happening, if for any reason it enters the blood stream.


How is digested food carried to your cells?

The digested food is in form of glucose which is broken down in mitochondria to release energy.


What happens to digested food after absorption?

Food is digested in the stomach, and this digestion continues to some degree in the small intestine. But it is largely in the small intestine that the nutrients are absorbed from the stream of digested materials. Anything not absorbed continues on to the large intestine for water extraction and further on to excrement.
