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
|
