McKenna's Digestive System

What's the difference between starch and glucose?

• Starch is a type of protein and glucose is a sugar

• Starch is made up of many glucose molecules bonded together

• Glucose is made up of many starch molecules bonded together

• Glucose is a type of protein and starch is a sugar

Why do molecules in the small intestine seem like they are disappearing?

• The molecules are getting absorbed into the blood

• The molecules are returning to the stomach

• The molecules are going to the large intestine

• The molecules are broken down and no longer exist
