Digestive System - Nutrients

C

Which nutrient is chemically digested by salivary amylase? Carbohydrate (C), Protein (P), Lipid (L), or Nucleic Acid (N)?

None - bile breaks up globs of lipids mechanically - it doesn't chemically alter them.

Which nutrient is chemically digested by the Bile? Carbohydrate (C), Protein (P), Lipid (L), or Nucleic Acid (N)?

L

Which nutrient is chemically digested by the Liver? Carbohydrate (C), Protein (P), Lipid (L), or Nucleic Acid (N)?

C

Which nutrient is chemically digested by the Mouth? Carbohydrate (C), Protein (P), Lipid (L), or Nucleic Acid (N)?

C P L N

Which nutrient is chemically digested by the Pancreas? Carbohydrate (C), Protein (P), Lipid (L), or Nucleic Acid (N)?

P

Which nutrient is chemically digested by the Pepsin? Carbohydrate (C), Protein (P), Lipid (L), or Nucleic Acid (N)?

C

Which nutrient is chemically digested by the Saliva? Carbohydrate (C), Protein (P), Lipid (L), or Nucleic Acid (N)?

C

Which nutrient is chemically digested by the Salivary gland? Carbohydrate (C), Protein (P), Lipid (L), or Nucleic Acid (N)?

C P L N

Which nutrient is chemically digested by the Small intestine? Carbohydrate (C), Protein (P), Lipid (L), or Nucleic Acid (N)?

P

Which nutrient is chemically digested by the Stomach? Carbohydrate (C), Protein (P), Lipid (L), or Nucleic Acid (N)?
