Q

phase 1 & 2 fat digestion

A

in duodenum pancreatic lipase breaks down triglycerides into fatty acids/glycerol
bile salts released to emulsify fat and make more soluble

Q

phase 3 & 4 fat digestion

A

membrane of small intestine: end products dissolve & diffuse into enterocytes
intestinal lipase helps further digest

26
Q

what forms between suphur=containing a/as in tertiary structure

A

di-sulphide bonds

27
Q

what happens in denaturation

A

unfolding of proteins

breaking bonds between SIDE CHAINS making them unable to function

28
Q

3 denaturing agents

A

heat
mechanic mixing
strong acids/bases

29

misfiling caused by

A

gene mutation

amyloid plaques AD

30
Q

7 functions proteins

A
structure body tissues - collagen
movement - actin/myosin fibres
carier milecules - haemoglobin
storage molecules - ferritin
fluid balance in blood - albumin
enzymes - dig envy,es
hormones - insulin
immune - complement
31
Q

protein, carb and lipid bonds are all formed by what reaction

A

dehydration synthesis

32
Q

protein, carb, lipid bonds are all broken down by

A

hydrolysis

33
Q

protein digestion 1 - what happens in stomach

A

HCL converts pepsinogen > pepsin

pepsin breaks protein chains into polypeptides

34
Q

protein 2 digestion what stimulates pancreatic juices

A

CCK & Secretin - released in small intestine

35
Q

3 protein digestion what pancreatic enzymes are released

A

trypsinogen

chymotrypsinogen

36
Q

protein digestion 4

what do trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen get activated into and by wjat

A

trypsin
chymotrypsin -
by enterokinase in intestinal mucosa

37
Q

protein digestion 5

action of trypsin & chymotrypsin

A

chops polypeptides into di & tri peptides in enterocytes

38
Q

final stage protein digestion

A

amino acids & small peptides absorbed into blood
