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--
