Lipids
what tissue type is primarily composed of lipids
adipose tissue
what is the monomer of a protein
what is the monomer of carbohydrates
Monosaccharides
what are lipids broken down by bile salts called
micelles
what enzyme breaks down proteins in the stomach
pepsin
where is the primary mechanical breakdown site of carbs?
oral cavity
what are lipids turned into in enterocytes?
chylomicrons
what type of diffusion brings protein into the enterocyte
facilitated diffusion
what type of enzyme, found in the oral cavity and pancreas, breaks down carbohydrates?
amylase
what are lipids turned into in the liver?
Low density lipids, LDLs
what 3 types of enzymes break down proteins in the small intestine
proteases
proteolytics
peptidases
what is glucose turned into to store if not quickly used?
glycogen
how do lipids get into the hepatic portal from the small intestine?
lacteal vessel -> vena cava -> systemic arteries -> systemic veins -> hepatic portal.
what does the broken down protein do in the liver?
it gets converted into other amino acids and synthesizes into new proteins
how are other monomers besides glucose utilized by the body
they get turned into glucose in the liver/small intestine via glucogenesis
