Answers
Answer and Explanation: 1
As the whole milk enters the mouth and is swallowed into the stomach. The stomach has a pepsinogen enzyme that breaks down the pepsin. As the liquid empties into the duodenum, it receives the bile from the gall bladder and pancreatic juice from the pancreas. Bile emulsifiers the milk fat and pancreatic lipases digest milk fat into fatty acid and glycerol. Proteases and amylases digest protein into amino acids and monosaccharides (glucose, fructose) respectively. Glucose and fructose will be absorbed by enterocytes and transported to capillaries of villi. Fatty acid and glycerol enter the enterocyte and will be transported to lacteals of villi in the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum). As the liquid passes down to the large intestine, the vitamins, minerals and water will be absorbed by the large intestine
