How does a snake digest its prey?
They swallow it by unhooking their jaws then their acids break it down!
Are villi present in the duodenum jejunum ileum?
Yes, villi are present in all three.
Small soluble food molecules broken down by enzymes in bile (which is released in the ileum) are absorbed by the villi in the ileum.
Water molecules are absorbed by villi in the duodenum (large intestines) by active transport - not osmosis, against a concentration gradient.
Why is weight loss a sypton of several different digestive disorders?
A digestive problem could prevent food or nutrients from properly being absorbed into the body, which can lead to malnourishment and weight loss. It can also cause vomiting, naseua, and diarehha, which can also lead to weight loss.
During starch digestion where does hydrolysis take place Please help me?
Hydrolysis of starch starts in our buccal cavity through action of enzyme salivary amylase which convert starch in to Maltose +Isomaltose and limitdextrines as disaccharides. further digestion of srarch take place in small intestine through action of amylase presentr in secretions of pancreatic and intestinal glands of our alimentry canal.
Which part of the digestive system do the laxatives act on?

How does trypsin digest protein?
Trypsin digests protein(polypeptide) by cleaving the peptide chain at specific sites. Trypsin cleaves the peptide chain after Lysine(K) or Arginine(R) residues (amino acids) except when followed by a Proline(P) residue. Generally, the tryptic digestion leaves behind the protein as peptide chains having none or one Lysine or Arginine residue.
This property of trypsin is widely used to study the protein primary structure and identification of proteins by analysing the resultant peptides using mass sepectrometry (MS).
Does exercise speed up digestion?
I would like to know too. Wondering why I use the bathroom way more now that I exercise or is it my imagination lol
digestion is delayed during vigorous exercise because blood is shunted to the muscles resulting in diarrhea in some people
Exercise stimulates the colon, which helps move contents along. This is why people sometimes have more bowel movements when they start a new rigorous exercise regime.
