Question

Which of the following catabolic processes is correct? A) Bile salts emulsify proteins for further digestion B) the digestive system breaks down protein into peptides, and then amino acids C) amylase breaks protein down into sucrose D) insulin turns carbohydrates into stored fat

Definition Definition Organ system that helps in the digestion of food by mechanical and biochemical processes. The digestive system breaks down food into simpler components that enable the body to then absorb or transport nutrients. The human digestive system includes the gastrointestinal tract or alimentary canal and the associate glands. The organs of the gastrointestinal tract include the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The associated glands include salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Digestion is the breakdown of mechanical and chemical food into smaller. Macromolecules need to be broken down into smaller pieces of the right size to absorb epithelial digestion. Large, complex proteins, polysaccharides, and lipid molecules must be broken down into smaller particles such as light sugar before they can be used by epithelial cells for digestion. In the digestive tract, different organs perform different functions. For a balanced diet, animal feed requires carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, as well as vitamins and inorganic substances.
