Lecture 17 Flashcards
What are the 3 forms of carbohydrates
Starch
Lactose
Sucrose
What enzyme breaks down starch into small polymers
Salivary amylase enzyme
What are polymers broken into in the SI
Disaccharides
What enzyme breaks down polymers into diaccharides
Pancreatic Amylase
Where are brush border cells found
Intestimal lumen
What is the role of brush border cells
Break di into monosaccharides
How is starch broken down by brush border cells
Starch: glucose disaccharides broken into glucose monomers by brush border cells
How is lactose broken down by brush border cells
Lactose: broken by beta-galactosidase (secreted by brush border cells) into its monomers galactose and glucose
How is sucrose broken down by brush border cells
Sucrose: broken by sucrase (secreted by brush border cells) into its monomers glucose and fructose
What happens to the monomers broken down in the brush border cells
Monomers then transported across intestinal epithelium into the bloodstream and absorbed into body cells
What is glycolisis
Cell metabolism
What is the beginning and end products of glycolysis
Glycolytic pathways metabolize glucose into pyruvate
What are the byproducts from glycolisis
Result in formation of energy molecules ADP and NADH
How do galactose and fructose enter glycolisis
Galactose and fructose converted into glucose-6-phosphate and then enter glycolysis
Whats the results of Maltose in the brush border cells and enzyme used to convert it
Maltose = 2 glucose
Converted by enzyme maltase
