NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Almost all (95 to 98 percent) protein is digested and absorbed in the small intestine. The type of carrier that transports an amino acid varies. Most carriers are linked to the active transport of sodium. Short chains of two amino acids (dipeptides) or three amino acids (tripeptides) are also transported actively.

Detailed explanation-2: -Digestion of both starch and protein is done by the pancreatic juice. The pancreatic enzymes include lipase, which breaks down triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides. Trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase all break down proteins. Amylase breaks down the excess complex carbohydrates into monosaccharides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are digested in the intestine, where they are broken down into their basic units: Carbohydrates into sugars. Proteins into amino acids. Fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
