exercise 25 Flashcards
digestion of food occurs primarily in the
alimentary canal
primary location of enzymatic hydrolysis
small intestine
digestion of starch uses
salivary amylase
most digestion of complex carbs occurs in
the duodenum
Benedict’s test
used to detect the presence of reducing sugars
primary structure of protein
type and order of amino acids
secondary structure of protein
sheet or coiling sections of the polypeptide chain
tertiary structure of protein
3D shape
quaternary structure of protein
two or more polypeptide chains bond together to form a functional protein
difference btwn denaturing and enzymatic hydrolysis
denaturing - changes the 3D shape but does not digest the protein
enzymatic hydrolysis - hydrolysis reactions that break the peptide bonds
pepsinogen is produced by
chiefs cells
triglycerides are composed of
one glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acids bonded to it
digestion of triglycerides occurs in
the duodenum
