what are the sevendietary carbohydrates include
|
starch(amylose and amylopectin), glycogen, isomaltose, maltose, lactose, sucrose and cellulose
|
|
why is cellulose not digested
|
because it contains B-1,4 glycosidic bonds),
|
|
what are the bonds of the other dietary carbs that are digested
|
alpha1,4 and alpha1,6 glycosidic bonds
|
|
where does carbohydrate digestion begin?
what enzyme |
the mouth alpha-amylase(ptyalin)
|
|
where is alhpa amylase active and what does it break down
|
near neutral pH, and breaks long oligosaccharides into shorter chains and disaccharides
|
|
what digests carbs in the stomach
|
digestion stops in the stomach b/c the low pH inactivates the alpha amylase
|
|
what aids in carb digestion and is added to chyme whenit reaches the duodenum
|
pancreatic alpha-amylase
|
|
what are the resulting products of pancreatic a-amylase
|
disaccharides
maltose sucrose and lactose |
|
can disaccharide be absorbed?
|
no
|
|
where do the the enzymes come from that catabolize disaccharides?
|
on the luminal membranes of enterocytes
|
|
name the enzymes that break down the disaccharides on enterocytes
|
glucoamylase (maltase)
lactase sucrase |
|
what are the percentage of monosacs that are transported into the blood
|
80% glucose, 10% frctose and 10% galactose
|
|
how does glucose and galactose cross the enterocyte cell membrane
|
via sodium-dependent transporters
|
|
the hexoses are transported across the abluminal membrane of the enterocyte and into the?
|
hepaatic portal circulation
also Na+ dependent |
|
stoped at protein digestion and absorption
|
k
|
|
how much protein do we digest a day
|
70-100gm
2x the amount needed to replace amino acids |
|
where are the proteases secreted by which accomplish the digestion of protein
|
stomach, pancreas, and small intestines
|
|
what gartic secretion aids in catab of protein
|
pepsinogen
|
|
what does pepsin primarily produce
|
short chian polypeptides and some aminocids
|
|
what does the pancreas secrete that aids in catab of protein
|
inactive proteolytic precursors (trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, procarboxypeptides, proelastase
|
|
the zymogens of the pancreas are converted to there active form by?
|
the secretion of enterocytes, a proteolytic enzyme called enterokinase (or enteropeptidase
|
|
what does the enterokinase convert?
|
trypsinogen to trypsin and the trypsin does the rest of the activation
|
|
the actions of what four enzymes take the shorter length poplypeptides and oligopeptides (short chains
|
trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidease and elastase
|
|
enterocytes also express a proteolytic enzyme of their own called?
|
aminopeptidase
|
|
what is the fun't of aminopeptidase
|
clips off single a.a. form the N-terminal of oligopeptides and eventually yields single a.a. and di and tripeptides
|
|
the a.a. di and tri peptides are transported into? by?
|
enterocytes by a fmaily of at least sodium-dependent a.a. transporters
|
|
what happens to the di or tripeptides once inside the enterocytes
|
are broken down into single a.a. by intracellualr peptidases
|
|
what? are transported across the abluminal membrane into what?
|
only a.a
hepatic portal circulation |
