Proteins are the last to be digested. Fats and sugars are among the first.
carbohydrates get digested in the mouth by saliva
then the proteins in the stomach by an enzyme called pepsin
then fats in the very beginning of the small intestine by an enzyme created by the liver and stored in the gall bladder that enzyme is called bile
What else can I help you with?
What nutrients break down in the stomach?
Proteins are digested in the stomach. Pepsin is the enzyme, which is responsible for breaking the peptide bond of the proteins.
Why proteins are digested in intestine but it does not digest its own protein?
1. First you chew up your proteins in your mouth and turn them into extremely small pieces, or at least you should. 2. Proteins are generally digested in your stomach. The acid environment allows proteins to unfold. Proteins are made from amino acids. The body prefers to break down proteins to the basic amino acids and then the amino acids. Then it uses the amino acids to produce the proteins that it wants. (fats and carbohydrates are digested in the intestines.) 3. The walls of the stomach and small intestine produce mucus protecting them from digestive justices.
What types of food remain in the stomach the shortest time?
Carbohydrates leave the stomach first, second are proteins and last to leave are fats
Most chemical digestion takes place where?
Though most protein digestion occurs in the stomach, all types of food (proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) are digested in the first part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
When proteins fats and carbohydrates are digested they are change into end products that?
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.
What nutrient partially digested in the stomach in both children and adult?
fats
When most proteins fats and carbohydrate are digested completely they are converted to end products that?
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.

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.
When most proteins fats and carbohydrates are digested completely they are converted to end products?
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.
What is primarily being digested in the stomach?
In the stomach, primarily proteins are being digested. The stomach secretes enzymes like pepsin and hydrochloric acid that break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Lipids and carbohydrates also undergo some digestion in the stomach, but protein digestion is the main focus.
What polymers are digested in small intestine?
carbs, proteins, nucleic acids, and fats
How are macro molecules digested?
Macromolecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, are digested through the action of enzymes in the digestive system. Carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars by enzymes like amylase, proteins are converted into amino acids by proteases, and fats are emulsified and digested by lipases. This enzymatic process begins in the mouth and continues in the stomach and small intestine, allowing the body to absorb the smaller molecules into the bloodstream for energy and cellular functions.
