16
Q

Why is lipid emulsified

A

Increase SA for lipase to work on

17
Q

What is a micelle

A

Monoglycerides and fatty acids stuck together with bile salts

18
Q

What bond to endopeptideases work on

A

Peptide bonds within the polypeptide chain

19
Q

Where do exopeptideases break bonds

A

The end peptide bond of the polypeptide chain. Releasing 1 amino acid

20
Q

Why are endo and exo peptidase used

A

Increase SA for dipeptideases to work on

21
Q

How is glucose moved into the ileum

A

Active transport on a co transport protein with N’a+

22
Q

How is galactose moved into the ileum

A

Active transport on co transport protein with N’a+

23
Q

How is fructose moved into the ileum

A

Facilitated diffusion

24
Q

How do micelles help monoglycerides and fatty acids be absorbed into the ileum

A

Micelles constantly break up and release the monoglycerides and fatty acids allowing them to be absorbed. Monoglycerides and fatty acids are lipid soluble so can diffused straight across the phospholipid bilayer

25
Q

Can whole micelles be absorbed My the plasma membrane

A

No

26
Q

How are amino acids transported into the ileum

A

Na co transporter protein
