Chemical digestion

Question 1

What are macronutrients?

Answer 1

1Proteins,fats and carbs

Question 2

What are the smaller components?

Answer 2

Protein=Amino acid
Fat= Fatty acids and glyceerol
Carbs=glucose

Question 3

What are the macromolecule components used for

Answer 3

1. Carbs- glucose= ATP to system to work
2. Fat- fatty acids and glycerol= forming membranes and structure of the body
3. Proteins- Amino acids= used to make other proteins

Question 4

What are the molcular scissors enzymes for the macromolecules?

Answer 4

1. Protein= Protease
2. Fat=Lipase
3. Carbs= Amylase

Question 5

How does the chemical digestion.

Answer 5

1. Bite into a burger andthe salivary glands make amylase
2. It goes down the esophagus into the stomach where protease pepsin enzyme is made and realeased to break down proteins
3. Into the small intestine where fats are broken down by the pancrease releasing protease, lipase and amylase to the small intestine
4. If a patient has a problem with their pancreas it will lead to fatty stool as the fats can be broken down
5. Brush borders release amylase and protease. For lipases to be successful a slash of bile is needed.
