Chemical Digestion Flashcards
1
Q
How do you get from starch into glucose ?
A
Amylase (either from the pancreas or salivary gland) breaks starch into maltose
Maltese then breaks down maltose into glucose
2
Q
How do you get from polypeptides to amino acids?
A
Trypisn breaks down polypeptides into peptide
Exopeptidase then breaks the peptides into amino acids
3
Q
How do you get from bile to fatty acid and glycerol?
A
Bile emulsifies fates/ lipids into emulsified droplets
Lipase then breaks down the emulsified droplets into fatty acid and glycerol.
4
Q
Enzymes produced in the small intestine
A
Maltase
Exopeptidase
5
Q
Enzymes produced in the stomach
A
Pepsin
Lactase
6
Q
Enzymes produced in the pancreas
A
Lipase
Pancreatic amylase
Trypsin
7
Q
Enzymes produced in the salivary glands
A
Salivary amylase
