Digestion starts in the mouth when you're chewing, then the stomach, then small intestines.

Digestion of starch begins in the mouth with the chewing of food (mastication) and the production of amylases immediately breaking down certain starches. The lining of the stomach produces hydrochloric acid (HCl). This acidic environment is critical for helping eliminate unwanted bacteria as well as initiating the digestion of proteins. <span>The small intestine is specifically designed to maximize the digestion and absorption process. The majority of carbohydrate digestion occurs in the small intestine. It is here that disaccharides (sugars composed of two monosaccharides) like sucrose, maltose, and lactose are broken down into monosaccharides, which are then absorbed directly into the cells that form the intestinal lining.

Hope this answer helps! feel free to ask any additional questions :)</span>

Endosymbiont theory explains some of the differences and similarities between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Categorize the followi
spayn [35]

Answer:

Endosymbiont theory was proposed by Lynn Margulis in 1967 which suggested the origin of Chloroplast and mitochondria in eukaryotic cells.

The theory suggested that chloroplast and mitochondria organelle originated by engulfing the cyanobacteria and proteobacteria by other prokaryotic bacteria.

This shows that Prokaryotes exhibit the following characters:

1. These were the first organisms on Earth

2. Lack membrane-bounded

3. Aerobic bacteria are these types of cells

Eukaryotes exhibit:

1. Have mitochondria

2. Includes organisms that carry out aerobic respiration

3. Can be a multicellular organism

4. Includes organisms that are photosynthetic

5. Might have chloroplasts
