Question

louun lu ABsorption While both the small and large intestines absorb water, they do not share the job equally. Consider the following typical measurements. What percentage of the water entering the small intestine is absorbed by the small intestine? Volume entering the small intestine: 9,400 mL Volume entering the large intestine: 400 mL Volume leaving the large intestine: 150 mL In contrast, what percentage of the water entering the small intestine is absorbed by the large intestine? % A typical volume leaving the large intestine might be 150 mL.

Answer 1

1.

so, the volume absorbed by the small intestine is 9000 ml (9400ml - 400ml = 9000ml).

The percentage of volume absorbed by the small intestine is

%

9000ml - 9400ml x 100 = 95.74

Answer - 95.74% of the water entering to the small intestine is absorbed by the small intestine.

Total volume absorbed by large intestine is 250ml (400ml - 150ml = 250ml)

Total water entering to the small intestine is 9400ml & water absorbed by the large intestine is 250 ml

%

250ml = 9400ml x 100 = 2.65

Answer - In contrast, 2.65% of the water entering to the small intestine is absorbed by the large intestine.

2.

If the volume leaving the large intestine were 390 ml then it would most likely indicate a case of diarrhea.

3.

The macronutrients that we consume are broken down through digestion and then absorbed in order to ultimately used by the body cells.

4.

Triglycerides - glycerides + 3 fatty acids

This is an example of a catabolism reaction, which releases energy.
