You got your favorite burger. The smell is so good, your mouth starts watering. You took a bite and started chewing. Then you swallowed. Trace your bolus from oral cavity to the rectum. What chemical changes happen in burger during this passage? Mention:  Organ/organs where digestion of different components of burger begins and ends  Enzymes involved in digestion of different components   Source the enzyme   End Product/s produced  Where absorption occurred?

Digestion of proteins in the acidic environment of the stomach is carried out by the enzyme pepsin. A different enzyme, called trypsin, digests proteins in the neutral environment of our small intestine. The amount of each enzyme are the same and the amount of substrate is the same between the stomach and small intestine. Explain why our bodies use two different enzymes to digest proteins in the stomach and the small intestine.

As you may know, Homer Simpson loves his donuts. So lets help Homer understand how his donut is processed from beginning to end. To do this you will need to 1. summarize the digestive system by identifying the gastrointestinal tract organs and their functions as the donut moves along the track. To do this you will need to identify 2. the function of the mouth and what compounds are broken down in the mouth and how (describe the chemical digestion); 3. The function of the stomach, describe chyme, the role of the stomach in mechanical digestion, chemical digestion (how, describe the chemical digestion and enzymes), and absorption. Why is it necessary for the stomach contents to be so acidic? How does the stomach protect itself from digestion? State the cells that secrete hydrochloric acid, pepsin, and intrinsic factor and the functions of each secretion; 4. Explain how small intestine absorption is assisted by circular folds (plicae circulares), villi, and microvilli; and describe…

A patient presents with a rare disorder called Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome. The patient has developed tumors in the small intestine that release hormones that stimulate the stomach to synthesize and secrete large amounts of HCL. How would this disorder disrupt normal digestive enzyme functions?

Anatomy and physiology

Which of the following structures produces digestive enzymes?     the liver     the small intestine     the endocrine pancreas     the gallbladder     all of these produce digestive enzymes

During the process of absorption, nutrients from food go from:a. the intestines into the bladderb. the blood into the organsc. the intestines into the bloodstreamd. the mouth into the stomach

With the two menus provided, answer the question below: Menu 1: Roasted chicken with mashed potatoes (mostly proteins and carbohydrates) Menu 2: Pasta with alfredo saude and cheese (mostly carbohydrates, dairy products and lipids) Question: Describe the steps in the chemical digestion of the main constituents of your meal (name the enzyme (s) and other secretions involved, and what cells secrete them), all of that from the beginning to the end of digestion.

Which of the following enzymes is activated in the stomach to promote digestion of dietary proteins into polypeptides? Pepsin, Lipase, Amylase, Trypsin?

An individual suffers a deficiency in functional pancreatic lipase so that this enzyme is not normally active. What food component will this effect and how will it be affected? What functions of food processing will be affected? How will the individual’s nutrition be impacted by this deficiency?   Answer the third question, How will the individual’s nutrition be impacted by this deficiency? Be as detailed as possible
