Glucose, Amino acids, or fatty acids are called "Simple" because:
they are large and cannot fit through the sm. intestine wall
they are small and fit through sm. intestinal wall easily
because they are not too intelligent
Starch is an example of a complex carbohydrate. This means that :
it is easily absorbed by the sm. intestine
it had a difficult life and is still trying to figure out the meaning of everything.
it is a large molecule and is absorbed more slowly by the sm. intestine
Why can't we, as humans , absorb fiber:
Because it is a complex molecule and is too big to fit through the holes of the intestines
Because it is a simple molecule and is absorbed in the esophagus
Because it is a complex molecule but is broken down in the mouth and hangs out until midnight and then travels to the gallbladder where itis absorbed
Because it is a simple molecule and too small to fit through the holes of the brain
According to this graph, the amino acids, proteins, and other complex carbohydrates , in the healthy person, were:
eliminated (pooped out)
absorbed
just evaporated
