Welcome to Annieâs Chamorro Kitchen! My name is Annie ~ food and I get along so well! Cooking and baking is more than a hobby for me ~ it's a passion. I come from the beautiful island of Guam, U.S.A., which is located in the beautiful southwest Pacific.
The digestion of different types of foods occurs in different areas of the digestive tract. Digestion of starch begins in the mouth with the chewing of food (mastication) and the production of amylases immediately breaking down certain starches.
Intercellular Digestion: 1. Digestion occurs in the food vacuoles within cells. 2. Lysosomal enzymes are secreted into the food vacuole. 3. Products of digestion diffuse into cytoplasm through vacuolar membrane. 4. Ingestion occurs through pinocytic vesicle,e.g. protozoans, spongens and coeleneterates. 1. Digestion occurs outside of cells in the lumen of the alimentary canal. 2. Salivary, gastric pancreatic and intestinal enzymes are secreted into the digestive cavity. 3. Digested food materials are absorbed into blood through gut epithelia.
