Enzymes that breakdown disaccharides are located ________. a. in the lumen of the small intestine.

1 answer:

3 0

Disaccharides need to be broken down into their component subunits (monosaccharides) before their absorption. The reaction that breaks them up is hydrolysis and it is done by enzymes- glucosidases. Glucosidases are located on the brush border of the small intestine, attached to the surface of the epithelial cells. After the catalyzation of these disaccharides, the epithelial cells take up the monosaccharides and transport them inside using ATP energy. From there they are transported into the bloodstream.

Besides nursing care, the nurse would make sure that interdisciplinary members of the team were involved, such as, the doctors' nutritionist, community worker, or resources, and provide a supportive environment for the family, and the client. The chaplain may be of support for the infant, or family may not be present. the bright room is overly stimulating to the withdrawing infant, and feeding is basic care.
