- Digestion
- Carbohydrate
- Amylase is produced in salivary gland
- Saliva enters the mouth
- Amylase hydrolysed starch to maltose
- Enters stomach
- Amylase denatured by acid
- Food passed into ileum
- Amylase from pancreatic juice breaks down remaining starch
- Muscles pushes food down ileum
- Maltese produced in ileum lining
- Hydrolyse maltose in alpha glucose
- Is a membrane bound disaccharidase
- Maltese produced in ileum lining
- Muscles pushes food down ileum
- Amylase from pancreatic juice breaks down remaining starch
- Enters stomach
- Amylase hydrolysed starch to maltose
- Saliva enters the mouth
- Amylase is produced in salivary gland
- Protein
- Hydrolysed by a group of peptidases
- Endopeptidase
- Hydrolyse peptide bonds in central region
- Exopeptidase
- Hydrolyse peptide bonds at outer regions
- Dipeptidase
- Hydrolyse bonds between two amino acids
- Lipid
- Made into micelles by bile salts
- Emulsification
- Increase surface area
- Hydrolysed by lipase
- Formed in pancreas
- Made into micelles by bile salts
- Chemical digestion
- Hydrolyse insoluble molecules to soluble ones
- Addition of enzymes
- Hydrolyse insoluble molecules to soluble ones
- Physical digestion
- Large food broken down by physical structure
- Teeth
- Provides a large surface area for chemical digestion
- Large food broken down by physical structure
- Carbohydrate
