The movement of amino acids across simple columnar epithelium of the small intestine in tube the blood represents what?
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- A general principle of physiology is that structure is a determinant of—and has coevolved with—function. One example highlighted in this chapter is the large surface area provided by the villous and microvillous structure of the cells lining the small intestineWhich molecule is created by the intestinal cells to transport lipids to the liver?With respect to pH, what would happen if the stomach emptied rapidly into the small intestine? Why would this be bad for digestion?
- If you fed an experimental animal (a mammal) a special food that consisted of all 20 amino acids, glucose and a wide variety of fatty acids, along with all needed vitamins and minerals, how would its digestive system handle this food? What would be normal and what, if anything, would be abnormal about its food processing? Is it likely to be adequately nourished?What is the difference between protein digestion and protein denaturation? Both occur after a meal.Why does saliva hydrolyze starch in the mouth but not in the stomach?
- Facilitated diffusion across a biological membrane of intestinal cells requires the presence of Triglycerides Carbohydrates Phospholipids Proteins CholesterolWhen food is digested, it passes through the alimentary canal, or the gastrointestinal tract, beginning at the mouth and ending at the anus. As it travels it gets broken down into smaller and smaller macromolecules until they are small enough to be absorbed into the lining of the GI tract. What cells would you not expect to find in the lining of the GI tract?What molecules do the following digestive enzymes help to break down? (a) amylase, (b) invertase, (c) endopeptidase
- The single layer of columnar epithelial cells lining the small intestine has a brush border of microvilli. How do you think microvilli increase absorption?You eat spaghetti with tomato sauce, peas, and Parmesan cheese. Describe the path through each organ of the digestive system this meal takes, describing how EACH of the FOUR BIOMOLECULES of the meal is digested and absorbed. Discuss all of the organs and enzymes involved.The catabolic enzyme alpha-amylase is active in some parts of the digestive system but not in others. What property of aqueous solutions controls its level of activity and how? If this property was out of the normal range in the areas of the digestive system where the enzyme is normally active, how would the catabolism of the substrate of alpha-amylase be affected?
