Question

Match the nutrient molecules with there breakdown products

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbohydrates - Glucose, Fats - Triglycerides,  Proteins - Amino acids

Explanation: The carbohydrates are formed from glucose. It is the simple sugar and also called monosaccharide. These are readily absorbed into the cells. Other types of carbohydrates are made up of glucose. The end product of carbohydrate digestion is glucose.  

The end product of fat digestion is fatty acids and glycerols. Fats are the composition of fatty acids and glycerols. One molecule of fat and 3 molecules of glycerols form triglycerides. It is the natural fat of many animals and human body.

The end product of protein digestion is  amino acids. Proteins are the dehydration polymer of amino acids. It means a number of amino acids are formed protein molecules with liberation of  certain amount of water.

Answer 2

Here is the breakdown of listed macro molecules:

Carbohydrates will break down into smaller and simpler units called glucose. Glucose is the simplest carbohydrate. Glucose is present in our blood and stored in liver in a form of glycogen.

Proteins will break down into amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. There are 3 different types of protein present in our body: primary, tertiary and Quaternary.

Fats will be hydrolyzed into triglycerides and glycerol.
