digestion 2 Flashcards
process of breaking things into molecules
chemical digestion
every bond broken of a polymer requires one molecule of water; rxn breaking things DOWN
hydrolysis
forms of carbohydrates (3):
- monosaccharides
- disaccharides
- polysaccharides (oligosaccharides)
monosaccharides (3):
- glucose
- fructose
- galactose
disaccharides (3):
- sucrose
- lactose
- maltose
polysaccharides (3):
- glycogen
- starch
- cellulose
can you absorb disaccharides?
no
which polysaccharide starts digesting in the mouth?
starch
what form of carbohydrates can absorb?
monosaccharides
what do we use monosaccharides for after we absorb them (2)?
- energy
- building blocks
specific type of polysaccharide
oligosaccharides
location and substrate of: salivary amylase
mouth (salivary gland)
starch
location and substrate of: pancreatic amylase
small intestine (pancreas) starch
location and substrate of: dextrine
small intestine (brush border) oligosaccharides
location and substrate of: glucoamylase
small intestine (brush border) oligosaccharides
location and substrate of: maltase
small intestine (brush border) maltose
location and substrate of: sucrase
small intestine (brush border) sucrose
location and substrate of: lactase
small intestine (brush border) lactose
where does protein digestion start?
stomach
protein digestion is _____ and _____
dieatary and intrinsic
intrinsic components of protein digestion (2):
- enzymes
- mucosal cells
intrinsic component of protein digestion: forms of protein themselves; breaks down polypeptide chains into amino acids; produced in INACTIVE FORM FIRST
enzymes
enzymes that digest PROTEIN (7):
**products become substrate of next enzyme
1) pepsin
2) rennin
3) trypsin
4) chymotrypsin
5) carboxypeptidase
6) aminopeptidase
7) dipeptidase
where is pepsin produced?
chief cells (in stomach)
where is rennin produced?
in babies
where is trypsin produced?
pancreas
where is chymotrypsin produced?
pancreas
where is carboxypeptidase produced?
pancreas/brush border of small intestine
where is amino peptidase produced?
brush border of small intestine
where is dipeptidase produced?
brush border of small intestine
2 protein enzymes that take single amino acids off the end of the polypeptide chain
carboxypeptidase + aminopeptidase
enzyme that babies produced that help them break down proteins (casein and whey) in milk; slowly diminishes with age
rennin
what does lipase break down?
lipids
where does the digestion of lipids both START and STOP?
small intestine
where is lipase produced in its ACTIVE FORM?
pancreas
why is lipase produced in its active form by the pancreas?
increases its efficiency with the presence of bile (emulsifies fat)
lipase breaks down lipids into _____ _____ and _____, which are absorbed in the small intestine
fatty acids + glycerol
long chains of nucleotides so that we can make our own; replicated in mitosis
DNA and RNA
nucleic acid enzymes (3):
**products become substrate of next enzyme
- pancreatic nuclease
- nucelosidase
- phosphatase
where is pancreatic nuclease produced?
pancreas
