Question

11. incomplete digestion products of triglycerides, mainly diacylgycerols and momoacylglycerols, require special transport across the small intestine membranes and within the blood. Work with your team to describe why these molecules would need special transport in the blood (in micelle type structures) and amino acids and monosaccharides would not.

12. Summarize where each macromolecule is hydrolyzed to small components within the body.

Explanation / Answer

11. Transport of incomplete digestion products of triacylglycerides which are mainly the diacylglycerols and the monoacylaglycerols requires an active Na+ ion dependent transport system. Here Na+ moves along with the partially hydrolyzed products of these reactions one at a time as they tend to form aggregates as micelle and stays longer in the system. Such type of requirement does not exist for the transport of monosaccarides and amino acids and are thus actively transported across the membranes.

12. Carbohydrates are hydrolyzed starting right in the saliva by amylase and goes into the stomach to intestine where it continues to get hydrolyzed by a number of enzymes as amylase, maltase, sucrase, lactase. Proteins are hydrolyzed in the intestine by the action of enymes pepsin, trypsin and peptidases among others.
