explain the process of digestion of fats proteins and carbohydrates
Answers
Explanation:
Digestion of carbohydrates
Digestion of carbohydrates begin in mouth by the presence of salivary amylase present in saliva from salivary gland. Carbohydrates reaches the stomach and from their to small intestine where it is broken down in small pieces by amylase which is one of the enzymes of pancreatic juice secreated by pancreas. The semi digested food is fully digested and is converted in glucose in small intestine.
Process of digestion of fats -
Lipase enzymes break down fat into fatty acids and glycerol. Digestion of fat in the small intestine is helped by bile, made in the liver. Bile breaks the fat into small droplets that are easier for the lipase enzymes to work on. Bile is not an enzyme.
Process of digestion of Proteins -
Proteins are digested in the stomach and small intestine. Protease enzymes break down proteins into amino acids. Digestion of proteins in the stomach is helped by stomach acid, which is strong hydrochloric acid. This also kills harmful microorganisms that may be in the food.
Process of digestion of carbohydrates -
Carbohydrates are digested in the mouth, stomach and small intestine. Carbohydrate enzymes break down starch into sugars.
The saliva in your mouth contains amylase, which is another starch digesting enzyme. If you chew a piece of bread for long enough, the starch it contains is digested to sugar, and it begins to taste sweet.
