Question

Which of these will leave the stomach first in a man?
A. Beer
B. Proteins
C. Fats
D. Carbohydrates.

Answer 1

Hint:- The hollow structure of the alimentary canal located between the oesophagus and the duodenum in the upper left portion of the human abdominal cavity is called the stomach. The stomach is responsible for secreting gastric acid and enzymes. These enzymes and gastric acids are involved in the process of digestion.

Complete answer:
Beer contains alcohol that is absorbed by the oropharyngeal cavity. The stomach is responsible for absorbing some salts, water, and alcohol. Absorption of alcohol completely occurs within the stomach. The digestion of beer does not take place into the digestive canal but it is directly absorbed by the stomach. Thus beer will leave the stomach first.
The denaturation or breakdown of proteins into amino acids is called protein digestion. The digestion and absorption of protein take place in the stomach and small intestine. First smashed food particles containing proteins are transferred to the stomach of the oesophagus. Pepsin is an enzyme released by the stomach that acts on the protein and starts the digestion process by forming a mixture called chyme. Chyme is then transferred to the small intestine for further digestion and absorption.
Fat needs more time to digest than other molecules. When fat-containing food enters the stomach, the stomach releases enzymes, and acids that initiate the process of digestion. After that, the food is passed to the small intestine. In the small intestine, the majority of the fat digestion and absorption process happen.
The breaking down of carbohydrates into monosaccharides is called carbohydrate digestion. The initiation of carbohydrates digestion takes place within the mouth. From the mouth, the food reaches the stomach. The stomach comprises no such major role in carbohydrates digestion. From the stomach, the carbohydrate is then reached to the duodenum for the further process.

So, the correct answer is option A) Beer.

Note:- As beer contains alcohol, it may cause harmful effects on the health if taken on a high amount and on a regular basis. The effects include concentration loss, liver disease, hypothermia, seizure, vomiting, diarrhea, blackout, respiratory problems, etc. But if the beer can be taken in the right way and the amount it can also be beneficial for health like it can decrease heart disease, prevent sudden heart attack or failure.
