What happens to the food in the stomach?
food in the stomach is digested in order to Increase its surface area of the food to be easily absorbed in the small intestines. What happens to food once it has entered the stomach is that gastric juices are secreted to help break down the food even more. In the stomach, food is mixed and broken up and is absorbed into the bloodstream.
True or False Alcohol has to be broken down by the digestive system.?
False. Alcohol is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the stomach and small intestine, bypassing the need for digestion like food. Once in the bloodstream, it is transported to the liver for metabolism.
Where are Proteins are digested in?
In the stomach; where the breakdown enzyme (pepsin) is at an optimum pH of 1-2 When broken down they form amino acids which are absorbed into the bloodstream by the ileum of the small intestine.
Where are proteins digested in your body?
In the stomach; where the breakdown enzyme (pepsin) is at an optimum pH of 1-2 When broken down they form amino acids which are absorbed into the bloodstream by the ileum of the small intestine.
Organ were digested food is absorbed?
Food is broken down or digested in the stomach but the nutrients are not absorbed in the stomach. Nutrients from digested food are primarily absorbed in the small intestine.
Why can't proteins be absorbed into the bloodstream?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids during digestion, and these amino acids are absorbed into the bloodstream. The body cannot absorb intact proteins because they are too large to pass through the lining of the intestines and into the bloodstream.
What happens in the alimentary canal?
Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. Starch is broken down by enzymes. Macromolecules are broken down.
What happens when a biological organic compound such as proteins and carbohydrates are broken down or synthesized?
They are broken down into simpler molecules by the digestive system so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
What happens to the food we eat in the stomach and digestive system?
The proteins are broken down to amino acids and get absorbed. Carbohydrates are broken down to glucose (and fructose) and are absorbed. Fats are broken down to fatty acids and glycerol and absorbed. Minerals and vitamins are absorbed as such.
What breaks down carbohydrates?
amylase
Is Alcohol burned up by the stomach?
Alcohol gets absorbed in the stomach walls, but about 80% goes straight to the bloodstream. ANSWER Alcohol is metabolized or broken down by the liver. The liver breaks down almost all drugs into a less harmful substance (metabolite) before it is excreted in the urine.
Where does the digestion of minerals and oil begin from?
The digestion of minerals begins in the stomach and continues in the intestines, where minerals are absorbed into the bloodstream. Unlike carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, minerals are not broken down but are absorbed in their ionic forms. The digestion of oils, or fats, begins in the mouth with the action of saliva, but it primarily occurs in the stomach and small intestine, where bile acids emulsify fats for better absorption.
