The digestion of polypeptides begins in the mouth with the enzyme pepsin. T/F

Biology
1 answer:
lana66690 [7]2 years ago
3 0

The answer is:

False

Here is why:

What makes this statement false is "mouth." Polypeptide digestion starts in the stomach and it ends in the small intestine, in the duodenum to be more specific. Polypeptides cannot be directly absorbed by the body, so they are broken down into either individual amino acids, dipeptides or tripeptides so they can be absorbed.

Defend the statement found in controversy that foods, not supplements are the best and safest form of phytochemicals.
Anika [276]

Answer:

The easiest argument is the next one:

Suppose phytochemicals are like money. If I put you in a phone cabin with a lot of money and give you 30 sec to be there collecting as much money as you can, at the end you will collect not all the money and a lot of money will be lost. The same happens whit phytochemicals in supplements there are so many that your body can't use them all.

And other thing is that phytochemicals in supplements comes so concentrated that your body will be overstimulated to take this phytochemicals and that changes your normal digestion, in the time it may looks good...but if you don't take supplements anymore, your body will feel the lost and the physical results would be awull.
