What else can I help you with?
Which is digested before being absorbed?
All food is broken down before digestion.
Before being transported in the bodyfood must be?
Broken down to the molecular level ... And in the case of proteins, down to amino acids.
Does glucose need to be digested before it is absorbed?
No, glucose, a simple sugar, does not require digestion and can be directly absorbed by the body through the small intestine into the bloodstream after being broken down from more complex carbohydrates during the digestion process.
What happens if intact proteins are transported across the villus epithelium?
Intact proteins are typically broken down into amino acids before being absorbed by the villus epithelium in the small intestine. The transport of intact proteins across the epithelium is not a normal process and can trigger an immune response, leading to allergic reactions or inflammation in the gut.
What do undigested substances include?
Undigested substances can include dietary fiber, plant cell walls, certain fats, and undigested nutrients such as proteins and carbohydrates. These substances can pass through the digestive tract without being broken down and absorbed by the body.
Is cholesterol absorbed without being digested?
Cholesterol is a type of fat that is not broken down during digestion like other fats. It is absorbed in the small intestine and then transported through the bloodstream to various tissues in the body where it is used.
Why doesn't water need to be digested before being absorbed?
Water is water. It is already in the right form to be absorbed, no breakup needed.
Where is food stored before it is excreted?
The Large Intestine does not store any food, it absrobs the nutrients from the food
Can triglycerides be absorbed without being digested?
No . A molecule of triglyceride is composed of a molecule of glycerol in ... Triglyceridescannot be efficiently absorbed, and are enzymatically digested by pancreatic lipase into a 2-monoglyceride and 2 Free fatty acids. All of which can be absorbed. Other lipase's hydrolyse a triglyceride into glycerol and 3 fatty acids.
What two organelles work together to move proteins around the cell?
The nucleus provides the information, in the form of DNA, Ribosomes analyze the DNA and generate the actual proteins from amino acids, which are almost exclusively synthesized from plants, formed into plant proteins, eaten, broken down into their amino acids again, absorbed into the blood, where it is carried throughout the body.
When do the nutrients in food get sucked out of the food?
The small bowel absorbs nutrients from food but first it must be broken down into amino acids ie: proteins, carbohydrates, fibre etc... before being transported round the body.
What happen to materials that are not absorbed?
they get saved for later
