Question

What are the final products of carbohydrates proteins and fats after digestion?

Answer 1

Hint: All the food items we eat are in a complex structure, by the process of digestion we break down these complex structures into simpler forms that our body can utilize. Components of our food such as carbohydrates proteins and fats will have a similar fate.

Complete answer:
The final products of carbohydrates proteins and fats are sugars, amino acids, and glycerol respectively.
Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are constituents of the carbon atom, hydrogen atom, and oxygen.
Carbohydrates contain two major components, which are Aldehydes and Ketones. The digestion of carbohydrates starts in the mouth and occurs in the stomach and small intestine. The enzymes Carbohydrase are responsible for breaking down the carbohydrates into sugars.
Proteins. Protein is a macronutrient that is essential to building blocks of body tissue and can act as an energy source. Digestion of protein occurs in the stomach and the small intestine. Protein breakdown contains a protease enzyme that breaks proteins into its basic component amino acids during digestion.
Lipids: Lipids Molecules contain hydrocarbons that make up the building blocks of living cells in both functionally and physically.
Digestion of lipids takes place in the intestine where the fats are broken down by lipase enzymes into glycerol and fatty acids.

Note: -Based on the complexity of structure, carbohydrates are divided into monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. The excess nutrition is stored in the body as polysaccharides (starch in plants and glycogen in animals)
-Even though excess fat is hazardous for the body, a sufficient amount of fat is necessary for the functioning of the body. Certain vitamins such as Vitamin A, D, E, K are only soluble in fat.
-Some common example of food sources are:
Carbohydrates: Rice, wheat, pulses, etc.
Proteins: Milk, red meat, fish, etc.
Lipids: oils, fats, egg yolks, etc.
