create a flow chart or diagram to illustrate the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. The starting carbohydrate molecules are starch, sucrose, lactose, glycogen, and cellulose. What will happen to these carbohydrates once we ingest them? Include the following from your flow chart or diagram: 1) the location or site where the digestion or absorption occurs 2) the enzymes 3) the products generated at each site or location
There are several processes that take place from the moment food enters our mouth until it is completely digested and used for energy. Using approximately 400-500 words, describe in detail and in order of process the mechanical (stomach and intestine)and chemical (gastric acid and enzymes) digestion of eating a grilled chicken sandwich with mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomatoes. Note what role the pancreas, gallbladder, and liver play in digestion of the ingredients? From what ingredients is your body deriving its energy and how many basic calories from the macronutrients ingested? Include at least two scholarly references (using APA formatting and style) to guide your answers (note that you can use your textbook as one of your references).
What are the essential amino acids and how does the body get them? Give an example of one of them and how it can be obtained. Briefly discuss why they are important to overall health and the consequences (health disorders) if they are missing from the diet. Why is a protein's structure important? What can happen if there are any changes? Provide an example and cite sources.
Which carbohydrate (Plain Saltine Crackers, Rice) is hard to digest in the mouth? Which carbohydrate (Plain Saltine Crackers, Rice) is easy to digest? Is rice much easier to digest compared to crackers?
You will only describe how proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids are digested in the body. The goal is to get to a point where there are only amino acids(from proteins), fatty acids (from lipids), and glucose (from starch). Enzymes are only part of chemical digestion. Provide a simple description of Ingestion, Movement, Mechanical digestions, absorption, and elimination related to your food. Lastly describe what glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids will be used once they are absorbed into the bloodstream.
Why are proteins especially important to children, pregnant women and people who are ill? What functions does protein perform in the body? Discuss why foods rich in complete protein are usually more expensive than foods containing incomplete proteins. Tell what amino acids are, and explain their importance. Which elements are proteins composed of? Explain/elaborate. Describe the process of digestion and absorption Explain why the body requirements fuel even during sleep. Describe metabolism. Why healthcare professional should practice the rules of good nutrition themselves From your personal experience, explain why certain foods are enjoyed more than other that are commonly available in the local area.
Non-digestible carbohydrates are most commonly referred to as which of the following? Glycogen Amylase Maltose Dietary fiber
Why are people who consume many of their carbohydrates in the form of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) more apt to overeat than people who consume carbohydrates in the form of starches? Explain how some starchy foods are healthier than others. What are three healthier starchy foods and why?
You eat spaghetti with tomato sauce, peas, and Parmesan cheese. Describe the path through each organ of the digestive system this meal takes, describing how EACH of the FOUR BIOMOLECULES of the meal is digested and absorbed. Discuss all of the organs and enzymes involved.
Into what monosaccharide molecule is maltose digested? What enzyme accomplishes this? Briefly describe how glucose is metabolized by body cells. (Hint: refer to the muscular system and respiratory system modules to refresh your memory.)
If you fed an experimental animal (a mammal) a special food that consisted of all 20 amino acids, glucose and a wide variety of fatty acids, along with all needed vitamins and minerals, how would its digestive system handle this food? What would be normal and what, if anything, would be abnormal about its food processing? Is it likely to be adequately nourished?
create a flow chart or diagram to illustrate the digestion and absorption of proteins. What will happen to the meat once we ingest them? Include the following from your flow chart or diagram: 1) the location or site where the digestion or absorption occurs 2) the enzymes 3) the products generated at each site or location
