    Lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins are digested through a multi-step process involving both mechanical and enzymatic breakdown. In the mouth, lipids begin breaking down through lingual lipase and carbohydrates through salivary amylase. In the stomach, lipids and proteins further break down through gastric lipase and pepsin, respectively. Most digestion occurs in the small intestine through emulsification by bile and the actions of pancreatic lipases on lipids, pancreatic amylase on carbohydrates, and trypsin, chymotrypsin, and other proteases on proteins, breaking them down into absorbable molecules like monosaccharides, fatty acids, and amino acids.

    CARBOHYDRATES
    1. Mouth
    The enzyme or the
    salivary amylase begins
    to break down the starch
    into shorter
    polysaccharides.

    2. Stomach
    Salivary amylase is
    inactive and no further
    3. Small Intestine
    carbohydrate digestion
    Majority of starch digestion and
    occurs.
    breakdown of disaccharides occurs in
    this area. The enzyme or the pancreatic
    amylase breaks down starch into
    monosaccharides, disaccharides, and
    oligosaccharides

    5. Large Intestine
    fiber and other digestible
    carbohydrates are partially broken 4. The digestion of carbohydrates is
    down by bacteria to form short completed by the enzymes attached to
    chain of fatty acids and gas. the brush border of the small intestinal
    villi. Here, the disaccharides and
    oligosaccharides are broken down into
    monosaccharides.

    EXPLANATION

    The information gathered are from the respected site, I just


    modified the diagrams by rearranging them. In short, I used the
    prepared infographics and simply inputted the needed
    information’s about the topic.
    THANK YOU!
