What two digestive processes occur in the small intestine

Biology
1 answer:
LuckyWell [14K]3 years ago
6 0

Two digestive processes occur in the small intestine are:

1. Chemical digestion

Digestive enzymes from the pancreas and liver are secreted in the small intestine via the pancreatic duct. Also, bicarbonates are secreted from the pancreas into small intestine (duodenum) in order to neutralize acid coming from the stomach.

Molecules digested in small intestine are proteinsinto small peptides and amino acids  (by trypsin, chymotrypsin, aminopeptidase and dipeptidase enzymes), lipids into fatty acids and glycerol (by pancreatic lipase and bile from the liver) and some carbohydrates  into simple sugars (by pancreatic amylase enzyme).

2. Absorption

The food previously digested can pass into the blood vessels (be absorbed)  through either diffusion or active transport.

If the Greenland ice sheet melted, approximately how much would the sea level rise worldwide? (1 meter = 3.28 feet)
Ksenya-84 [330]

Due to the general core field and psychic naturalism measurements of the ice sheet, the top water sheet level would rise approximately 353 meters.

It's quite sad, as the poles require an uneven lining, where if we lose that uneven lining, all warm blooded species are surely doomed.

Finally, the chemical messenger is ______________ back into the presynaptic neuron, ready to be used again. As levels of the neu
belka [17]

Answer:

Finally, the chemical messenger is taken back into the presynaptic neuron, ready to be used again. As levels of the neurotransmitter in the synapse decrease, the stimulation of the postsynaptic nerve ends.

Explanation:

      The synapse is the space between two neurons. Through this space, neurons communicate.

      An action potential causes the release of neurotransmitters from the presynaptic neuron; if there are enough of these specific neurotransmitters to bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, they do and an action potential is now generated on this neuron.

     This communication between two neurons must end once it's happened. In order for it to end, the synapse must be free of neurotransmitters. One mechanism to do so is for the neurotransmitters to be taken back into the presynaptic neuron.
