Bell Peppers (fruit→ sugar-> Carbs)

Mouth	Stomachs	Small intestine	Large intestine
Mechanical digestion Chemical action of salivary amylase Causes Breakdown of starches	No further breakdown occurs in the stomach Bc amylase does not function in acidic conditions of the stomach However mechanical breakdown still going Peristaltic conditions of the stomach mix carbs into CHYME	Chime expelled into small intestine Pancreatic juice breaks carbs down into smaller chains Enzymes secreted by intestinal cells that line the villi The undigested lactose moves to the large intestine where bacteria are able to digest it	remaining indigestible carbohydrates are broken down by enzymes released by bacteria in the large intestine Bacterial digestion The short-chain fatty acids are either used by the bacteria to make energy and grow, are eliminated in the fece

Calamari (meat→protein)

Mouth	stomach	Small intestine	Large intestine
The teeth begin the mechanical breakdown The salivary glands provide some saliva to aid swallowing and the passage through the esophagus.	stomach contractions churn the partially digested protein into a more uniform mixture called chyme Protein digestion in the stomach takes a long time	The stomach empties the chyme into the small intestine Majority of digestion occurs here The pancreas secretes digestive juice that contains more enzymes that further break down the protein fragments The muscle contractions of the small intestine mix and propel the digested proteins to the absorption sites	Very little protein makes it to the large intestine

Rice- fiber + carbs

Mouth	Stomach	Small Intestine	Large Intestine	Rectum
Breaks down the high-fiber foods when you chew Saliva softens food Releases amylase	Churning breaks down food smaller Chyme forms A lot of acid which gets rid of bacteria	Chyme continues to small intestine Amylase breaks down to a disaccharide Produces lactase, sucrose, and maltase Used as energy source by bacteria	Large intestine breaks down whatever is left	Fiber in indigestible Leaves body through feces

Vegetables (onions, carrots)

Mouth	Stomach	Small Intestine	Large Intestine	Rectum
Chewing begins mechanical digestion Food moistens and broken into smaller pieces	Food is mixed with acid churning	Nutrients and water removed Move quickly through system	More nutrients absorbed	Stored here until it leaves by feces

Egg- Protein

Mouth	Stomach	Small Intestine	Pancreas	Rectum
Soften and moisten food Does this in order for digestion to occur	Enzyme:pepsin (digestive enzyme of stomach) Peptides: chains of four amino acids Peptides are broken down proteins	Trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase Amino acids absorbed by microvilli 90% of water absorbed	Protein enzymes are created Enzymes are transported through ducts	Not much protein is lost when it becomes feces
