Follow through with the animation and focus on regulation and nutrient absorption 10A. Use color
pencils to trace through the process.
Red- Place a triangle where the
carbohydrates (starch) are
broken down first? Where are
they further broken down?
What enzyme helps break down
carbohydrates in the mouth?
Blue –Place a circle where the
lipids are broken down first?
What is the enzyme that breaks
down lipids?
Black- Place a star where the
proteins are denatured and
absorbed?
Describe in your own words the process of
biomolecules being digested through this
system for nutrient absorption:
