In humans, glucose may be the product of chemical digestion when what kinds of foods are eaten? A) carbohydrates like bread B) fats like butter and oils C) proteins including hamburger meat D) amino acids that are found in eggs
Chemical digestion involves the breakdown of food molecules by the use of enzymes to generate simpler molecules that can be absorbed into the body's metabolism.
During chemical digestion, carbohydrates are broken down into simple molecules such as glucose which can be easily absorbed in the small intestines.
Monosaccharides such as glucose are the building blocks of carbohydrates and can be easily absorbed by the body through the small intestines.
Proteins are broken down into amino acids while lipids are broken down into fatty acid and glycerol during chemical digestion.
