In human beings, when the process of digestion is completed, the (i) proteins, (ii) carbohydrates, and (iii) fats are respectively finally converted into:
Options
Official answer
Option B is correct. In human beings, when the process of digestion is completed, proteins are converted into amino acids, complex carbohydrates into glucose, and fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
Marking scheme
- 1.1 Mark for selecting the correct option (B).
Hint
Think about the final products released by the action of intestinal juice enzymes on proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.
Quick oral answer
Proteins are converted to amino acids, carbohydrates to glucose, and fats to fatty acids and glycerol.
Common mistakes
- 1.Confusing the order of the nutrients with their respective products.
- 2.Forgetting that fats break down into both fatty acids and glycerol.
Analysis and explanation
According to the NCERT text, the enzymes present in the intestinal juice finally convert proteins to amino acids, complex carbohydrates into glucose, and fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Option A is incorrect because it misses glycerol as a product of fat digestion. Option C has the incorrect order of products. Option D lists 'sugars' instead of specifically glucose for carbohydrates and has the wrong order for proteins.
Interesting facts
The small intestine is the site of complete digestion of all three major macronutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
