These problems may include the following: Children born to teenage mothers are less likely to receive proper nutrition, health care, and cognitive and social stimulation. As a result, they are at risk for lower academic achievement.
The majority of carbohydrate digestion occurs in the small intestine. It is here that disaccharides (sugars composed of two monosaccharides) like sucrose, maltose, and lactose are broken down into monosaccharides, which are then absorbed directly into the cells that form the intestinal lining.igestion 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.
