Why do our digestive systems produce separate enzymes to digest proteins, fats, and carbohydrates?

Biology
1 answer:
pashok25 [27]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The digestive system produces different types of enzymes in order to convert proteins, fats and carbohydrates into smaller molecules and facilitate their absorption.

Explanation:

Once food is ingested, it must go through a process of digestion, which involves the conversion of food into smaller molecules, in order to facilitate its absorption at the intestinal level.

There are different enzymes, produced in the digestive system, for this purpose:

  • <em><u>Proteases</u></em><em> degrade meat proteins to convert them into amino acids. </em>
  • <em><u>Lipases</u></em><em> convert fats into fatty acids. </em>
  • <em><u>Amylases</u></em><em> convert sugars and carbohydrates into glucose. </em>

The main objective is to obtain the fundamental components of each food to be assimilated by the organism, via intestinal absorption.

Which of the following is an example of a non-falsifiable hypothesis?
OLEGan [10]

Answer: There is a teacup orbiting the Milky Way galaxy.

Explanation: Hello!

To find the correct answer, you need to find a hypothesis that cannot be proven wrong. All but one can indeed be proven wrong. The correct answer is there is a teacup orbiting the Milky Way galaxy because there is no way anyone can tell if there is a teacup orbiting the Milky Way galaxy or not. We know that it can be proven wrong because there is no life on Mars, the human species started in Africa and that humans cannot live without a certain amino acid. The only thing that really can’t be proven wrong is the one about a teacup.
