What happens to macromolecules from food during digestion?

Biology
1 answer:
Scilla [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

. Chemical digestion is the biochemical process in which macromolecules in food are changed into smaller molecules that can be absorbed into body fluids and transported to cells throughout the body. Substances in food that must be chemically digested include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.

2.A fat molecule, such as a triglyceride, consists of two main components—glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is an organic compound with three carbon atoms, five hydrogen atoms, and three hydroxyl (–OH) groups.

3. If it's in the table, it's an element! Atoms can join together - they form bonds together - to make MOLECULES. For example, two atoms of hydrogen hook together to form a molecule of hydrogen, H2 for short.

4. When atoms join together to form molecules, they are held together by chemical bonds. These bonds form as a result of the sharing or exchange of electrons between the atoms. It is only the electrons in the outermost shell that ever get involved in bonding.

A compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements. There are two main types of chemical bonds that hold atoms together: covalent and ionic/electrovalent bonds. Atoms that share electrons in a chemical bond have covalent bonds. An oxygen molecule (O2) is a good example of a molecule with a covalent bond.

5.Beginning with energy sources obtained from their environment in the form of sunlight and organic food molecules, eukaryotic cells make energy-rich molecules like ATP and NADH via energy pathways including photosynthesis, glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

If starch and cellulose are both polymers of glucose, how come people can digest starch but not cellulose?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Explanation:

Cellulose is a structural component of the plant cell wall. It is a polysaccharide consisting of a long linear chain of multiple β - 1, 4 linked glucose units.

Cellulose is difficult for most animals to digest except herbivores because they lack the ability or enzyme to digest cellulose. This enzyme needed is the cellulase which cleave to its β - 1,4 glycosidic bond and hydrolysis it into its constituent molecules (glucose).

Which type of molecule will require energy to cross the cell membrane? Question 3 options: A) carbon dioxide B) Na+ C) nonpolar
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

B) Na+

Explanation: Na+ molecule is polar, oxygen and carbon dioxide are nonpolar molecules. The cell membrane is a <em>phospholipid bilayer</em> made up of lipid molecules with polar and nonpolar ends. Since it is a bilayer, two phospholipid layers are arranged, one on the other in such a way that one faces the back of the other. The non polar ends are away from outside and inside of the cell, while  the polar ends faces towards all the molecules inside and outside the cell.

Since polar-polar molecules repel each other, Na+ can't pass through the cell membrane easily. So it uses the proteins attached the cell membrane inside and outside to transport such molecules by using energy in terms of ATP.

Infections arising from the periapical region of the mandibular first premolars perforate through the lingual cortex to theA- Pt
Reika [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C- "Sublingual space".

Explanation:

If an infection perforate from he mandibular first premolars through the lingual cortex, it is very likely that it continues is way into the sublingual space. The infections located at the sublingual space are often bacterial infections that comes precisely from the floor of the mouth. If an infection goes into the lingual cortex, it will often go to the tissue under the tongue at the sublingual space.
