Concept explainers

Nutrition and Digestion

The process of consuming nutrients to utilize them for various biological purposes is known as nutrition. The substances absorbed from food are known as nutrients. They serve different important functions in the body, such as repairing wounds and damages, generating energy for metabolism, and regulating biochemical reactions.

Question

Early in the digestive process, a digestive enzyme found in saliva called ptyalin breaks down large starch molecules. It’s unable to break down proteins.
