Protein becomes
Carbs become glucose
Triglycerides become fatty acids
Proteins become amino acids
Mono saturated fat
Fatty acid one double or triple bond between carbons
Tryglycerides
Fatty acids bound with one glycerol - storage form of fat
Dif between read and sugar though both end up as glucose but
1 wheat bread digested absorbed slowly higher fiber- less glucose appears in blood per unit time- less insulin released les likely fat stored
2 if fat appears in meal fiber I wheat bread bind some fat while intestines carrying out of body
3 vit mineral in wheat bread assist enzymatic processes digestion absorption tansport oxidation( increase positive charges on an atom loss negative charges )

Digestion process mouth
1 mouth ( mastication )
- food becomes bolus
- bile secreted In stomach
Enterocyte
Intestinal cell absorbs nutrients
Villi
Intestinal wall tremendous surface area from foods and pits finger like projections
Line small intestine fluid nutrients absorbed
Bile
Produced by liver stored in gallbladder - secreted to small intestine to alkaline emulsify food
Surface area of intestine equivalent to?
A tennis court !!!
Digestion
1 mouth -mastication bolus, bile secreted, salivary glands digestive enzyme amylase and lipase (amylase digest starch, lipase essential digestion of fat)
2 through pharynx , epiglottis closes (no food trachea )
3 esophagus - lower esophageal sphincter rev food entry to stomach
4 stomach first major digestion stage : chyme broken down bolus
5 pyloric sphincter - end of Antrum or loswer stomach bring chyme to small intestine
6 small and large intestine
Stomach three parts
The fundus first part
The body central part
The Antrum lower part
Pyloric sphincter
Thick muscular ring surround opening bewteen stomach and duodenum
