B. Converted to Monosaccharides
C. Not changed
A
In contact digestion, disaccharides are converted to?
Monosaccharides
Which enzymes are involved n contact digestion?
Sucrase, lactase and maltase
In luminal digestion, proteins are converted into?
Polypeptides
In contact digestion, polypeptides are converted into
Individual amino acids
Where are lipids digested?
In the lumen of the small intestine. NO contact digestion.
What is the main enzyme involved in the digestion of lipids?
Pancreatic lipase
Which enzymes have a minor role in the digestion of lipids?
Lingual lipase and gastric lipase
What is the problem with the digestion of lipids
Lipids are insoluble in water so it requires a more complex process
