Question

Describe the process of carbohydrate protein and fat digestion and absorption in detail

Answer 1

lipid Absorption. Most lipids that you consume in your diet are fats. Somedigestion occurs in your mouth and the stomach, but most takes place in the small intestine. Bile is produced by your liver, stored and released in your gall bladder and emulsifies fatglobules into smaller droplets.

Answer 2

• The digestion of the proteins begin in the stomach where it is acted upon by the proteolytic enzyme of the stomach, pepsin. Pepsin converts proteins into proteoses and peptones (peptides).
• Proteins, proteoses and peptons in the chyme reaching the intestine are acted upon by the proteolytic enzymes (trypsin, chemotrypsin, carboxypeptidases) of the pancreatic juice and are converted into dipeptides.
• The enzymes in the succus entericus acts on the end product of the above reaction to form the simple absorbable forms.
• Dipeptidases present in the succus entericus converts the dipeptides into amino acids. Amino acids thus formed are absorbed in the jejunum and ileum regions of the small intestine.
