Question

What are the end products of digestion?

• A. Proteins – Amino acids; Carbohydrates – Maltose; Fats – Fatty acids and Glycerol
• B. Proteins – Amino acids; Carbohydrates – Lactose; Fats – Fatty acids and Glycerol
• C. Proteins – Amino acids; Carbohydrates – Sucrose; Fats – Fatty acids and Glycerol
• D. Proteins – Amino acids; Carbohydrates – Glucose; Fats – Fatty acids and Glycerol

Answer 1

The correct option is D Proteins – Amino acids; Carbohydrates – Glucose; Fats – Fatty acids and Glycerol

Intestinal juice secreted by the walls of small intestine helps to convert proteins into amino acids, to convert complex carbohydrates into glucose and to convert fats into fatty acids and glycerol and thus completes digestion.

• Carbohydrates- broken down into monosaccharides like glucose and fructose
• Proteins- broken down into amino acids
• Fats- broken down into glycerol and fatty acids
