The enzyme _______, located in the parietal cells, catalyzes the formation of carbonic acid from carbon dioxide and water
carbonic anhydrase
Protons are actively pumped into the lumen of the stomach by the _______
parietal cells
Cl– ions are exchanged for _______ to gain entry into parietal cells. They then move into the stomach lumen through chloride channels
bicarbonate ions
HCl acts as a barrier to _____ present in food
pathogens
HCl activates digestive enzymes such as ______
pepsin
HCl disrupts the __________, enhancing their degradation by enzymes
tertiary and secondary structure of proteins
In the stomach, 1._______ degrades large polypeptides to smaller polypeptides. In the small intestine, pancreatic enzymes such as 2.______ degrade smaller polypeptides to amino acids. Amino acids are absorbed in the small intestine by the 3._______
1.pepsin
2.trypsin
3.Na+-amino acid cotransport mechanism
The bulk of fat digestion takes place in 1.______. Bile released from the gallbladder helps to break up large fat globules to smaller ones, while 2._____ released from the 3._____ cleave the fats to fatty acids and other small lipids. Absorption of these small lipids occurs using fatty acid–binding proteins located in the small intestine.
1.the small intestine
2.lipases
3.pancreas
What facilitates the breakdown of complex fats into fatty acids?
bile salts
decreased production of bile salts would result in?
decreased fatty acid absorption
The enzyme _______, located in the parietal cells, catalyzes the formation of carbonic acid from carbon dioxide and water
carbonic anhydrase
Which action would result in decreased blood glucose levels?
Release of insulin by the pancreas Correct Correct. Insulin release promotes glucose uptake by cells and would result in decreased blood glucose levels
alimentary canal
the structure in which digestion takes place. It begins at the mouth and ends at the anus
what cleaves glycosidic bonds in starch, glycogen, and other polymers?
Amylase
what is the glycoprotein that combines with water to lubricate the food bollis called?
mucins
