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.
When sucrose is digested what is formed?
When sucrose is digested, it is broken down into its two constituent monosaccharides: glucose and fructose. These monosaccharides can then be absorbed into the bloodstream and used for energy production in the body.
What is fat broken down into?
The triglycerides are each broken into a glycerol molecule and three fatty acids. From the intestines they are absorbed into the bloodstream as monoglycerides and brought to the liver for processing. The atoms can be re-configured so the energy can either be used (burned) or stored as fat for later use.
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 molecule increases the rate at which starch is broken down into glucose?
Enzyme
Which Luciferin is broken down in cells controlled by?
an enzyme
What happens to the food we eat in the stomach and digestive system?

What molecule is broken down into amino acids?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids through the process of digestion in the body. Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids linked together. Once proteins are broken down during digestion, the individual amino acids are absorbed and used by the body for various functions.
What can a molecule be broken down into?
Atoms or elements. These can be broken down further into protons, neutrons, and electrons.
When sucrose is digested what is formed?
When sucrose is digested, it is broken down into its two constituent monosaccharides: glucose and fructose. These monosaccharides can then be absorbed into the bloodstream and used for energy production in the body.
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.
List three substances that are produced when water molecule are broken down during the light reaction?
When water molecules are broken down during light reactions like in photosynthesis, they yield oxygen, NADPH and ATP (which stores energy that can be used in dark reactions).
Where is the water molecule broken down?
The Thylakoid Membrane
What is fat broken down into?
The triglycerides are each broken into a glycerol molecule and three fatty acids. From the intestines they are absorbed into the bloodstream as monoglycerides and brought to the liver for processing. The atoms can be re-configured so the energy can either be used (burned) or stored as fat for later use.
What happens in the alimentary canal?
Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. Starch is broken down by enzymes. Macromolecules are broken down.
Can minerals be broken down by digestion?
No, minerals cannot be broken down by digestion. They remain intact and are absorbed by the body in their original form.
What happens to proteins in small intestine?
They are broken down and absorbed into the blood.
