The main biomolecules present in the meal are carbohydrates but there are also proteins and lipids.

First of all starch will be hydrolysed in the mouth.Saliva contains an enzyme called amylase that turns starch into dextroses and maltose.

In the stomach the HCl will activate the pepsinogen and it will become pepsin that will hydrolise proteins to albumoses and peptones.

Also in the stomach an enzyme called gastric lypase is present which turns lipids into glycerol and fatty acids.

In the duodenum:The pancreas releases pancreatic amylase which turns starch into maltose. It releases pancreatic lypase which turns lipids into fatty acids and glycerol. It releases proteolytic enzymes(trypsin, chemotrypsin, carboxypetidase, elastase, collagenase) which turn proteins, albumoses and peptones into oligopeptides(3-4 aminoacids) and aminoacids.

In the rest of the small intestines enzymes secreted by the cells that line the small intestine work. Oligopeptidases turn oligopeptides into aminoacids. Maltase turns maltose into 2 molecules of glucose. Sucrase turns sacrose into 1 molecule of glucose and one of fructose. Lactase turns lactose into 1 molecule of glucose and 1 of galactose. The intestinal lypase turns lipids into glycerol and fatty acids.

<u><em>Mouth</em></u>

1.Starch----(salivary amylase)--->maltose+dextrose

<em><u>Stomach</u></em>

2.lipids---(gastric lypase)---->glycerol+fatty acids

3.proteins---(pepsin)--->albumoses and peptones

<u><em>Duodenum</em></u>

4.Starch---(pancreatic amylase)--->maltose

5.lipids--(pancreatic lypase)--->glycerol+fatty acids

6.proteins+albumoses+peptones---(trypsin,chemotrypsin,carboxypeptidase,elastase collagenase)--->oligopeptides+AA

<em><u>Small intestine(Jejunum and ileon)</u></em>

7.maltose---(maltase)--->2glucose

8.sacrose---(sacrase)--->glucose+fructose

9.lactose---(lactase)--->glucose+galactose

10.lipids---(intestinal lypase)--->glycerol+fatty acids

11.oligopeptides---(oligopeptidase)--->amino acids

The sheets of peritoneal membrane that hold the digestive tract in place are called ________. the sheets of peritoneal membrane
kotegsom [21]
They are called the mesenteries. They are also called the mesenterium, they are peritoneal fold attaching to the small intestine to the dorsal body wall.In humans it wraps around the pancreas and the small intestine and extensions down around the colon and the upper portion of the rectum. Their function is to anchor the small intestine to the walls of the abdominal walls.

The coolest and dimmest space objects emit radiation of longer wavelengths than those we can see. A detector for which type of e
BARSIC [14]

Answer: The infrared radiations can detect the coolest and dimmest space objects.

In general, the coolest and darkest regions of space emit radiations of longer wavelengths. The Infrared telescope is used to find the cool, dim stars by slicing the interstellar dust bands and also measure the temperature of the planet of the solar system. The coldest stars do not emit light so they can be seen with the infrared telescopes only. In the visible region, blue stars are hottest and red are the coolest. The wavelength is inversely proportional to the energy emitted so the hottest stars are in the region of low wavelength in visible region.
