AS Digestion + absorption EQs

1) Describe the processes involved in the absorption + transport of digested lipid molecules from the ileum into lymph vessels

• micelles contain bile salts + fatty acids
• makes fatty acids soluble + brings to ileum
• fatty acids absorbed by diffusion
• chylomicrons are formed
• exocytosis

Describe the role of enzymes in the digestion of proteins in a mammal

• hydrolysis of peptide bonds
• endopeptidase in middle
• exopeptidase at termina ends
• dipeptidases form amino acids

4b) no significant difference as error bars overlap so mean percentage absorbed is not affected by percentage in diet. need to investigate a wider range/sample
