breaking down of carboydrates steps (2)

amylase breaks starch into maltose

maltase breaks down maltose into glucose

breaking down of protein (1)

proteases(pepsin) break proteins into amino acids

breaking down of lipids

lipase breaks lipids into fatty acids and gylcerol

2 functions of bile

-neutralizing stomach acidity

-aids in digestion by emulsifying fat

purpose of lacteal

absorb fats

meaning of assimilation

the process by which absorbed nutrients are used by cells and become part of the body's tissues.
