A person is eating rice in his lunch.How digestion of rice takes place ?
Answers
Answer:
1. About 30% of starch digestion (rice) takes place in the mouth.
2. From there it goes to the stomach which secretes acid and powerful enzymes that continue the process of breaking down the food.
3.From there to the small intestine which continues the breaking down process by using enzymes released from the pancreas and bile from the liver.
4. Bile is a compound that aids in the digestion of fat and eliminates waste products from the blood.
5. Peristalsis moves the food along and mixes it up with digestive secretions.
6. Waste left over from the digestive process is passed through the colon and finally emptied into the rectum.
Explanation:
Answer:
It mechanically breaks it down by peristalsis. Enzymes from the pancreas are secreted, such as lipase for lipids, protease for proteins, and amylase for starches. Amylase breaks down starches like rice, into sugars to be metabolized by the body for energy. The jejunum and ileum help to absorb nutrients.
