You have consumed an oven roasted turkey leg containing carbohydrate (glycogen), protein (actin and myosin), and fat (triglycerides). Begin this essay by diagramming and explaining the anatomy of the digestive system (GI track and accessory organs). From the mouth to the point of absorption, detail the pathway of each nutrient monomer as it is (1) digested and ultimately (2) absorbed. BE AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE.

QUES--

DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION OF CARBOHYDRATES,FATSAND PROTEINS--

Carbohydrates , fats and proteins are are digested and absorbed in SMALL INTESTINE

DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION OF CARBOHYDRATES --

1) DIGESTION --

A) MOUTH -- salivary amylase (ptyalin) acids digestion of starch to 1:4 linkages producing - limiting dextrins and maltose.

B) STOMACH - the HCL of the gastric juice may hydrolase some sucrose.

C) DUODENUM - amylase of pancreatic juice rapidly converts all starch and dextrins completely into maltoe. it acts as in an alkaline medium and its digestive activity is increased by presence of bile salts.

D) SMALL INTSTINE - succus entericus contains disscharids i.e enzymes for splitting dissacharides int monosaccharides.for example--

You study a serine/threonine-protein kinase, which is likely involved in the regulation of actin dynamics. You have good knowledge about the kinase (such as its kinase domain information and which residues are catalytic sites etc). You found a RhoGEF by yeast two-hybrid screening using the kinase as bait. Further, through co-immunoprecipitation assay, you confirmed that the kinase specifically interacts with the RhoGEF. Since RhoGEF is well known to regulate actin oligomerization, you expect that the protein might provide an important...

Do you think differently about the process of how carbohydrate, lipids and protein are metabolized and energy is released? Or perhaps about how the pathways in metabolism work? Does it make sense now why lipids have 9 kcalories per gram and carbohydrate and protein have 4 kcalories per gram?

You are given a sample containing two proteins in phosphate-buffered saline: Protein A (pI value 8.4) and Protein B (pI value 7.0). You wish to separate this protein mixture by ion-exchange and have available a column of CMSephadex. To carry out the procedure, you have prepared an appropriate MES buffer (50 mM, pH 6.0, with 20 mM NaC1). We will call this Buffer M. (i) Suggest a preparatory procedure and materials needed to change the phosphate buffer of the protein...
