Question
Which of the following statements are true regarding the
process of digestion? 1. Digestion begins in the mouth where enzymes start breaking down food. 2. The stomach absorbs most nutrients from food. 3. The small intestine is the main site for nutrient absorption. 4. The liver produces bile which aids in fat digestion. Select the correct answer using the code below:Solution
• Statement 1 is correct as digestion begins in the mouth, where the enzyme salivary amylase begins breaking down carbohydrates. • Statement 2 is incorrect as the stomach primarily breaks down food but does not absorb most nutrients; that happens in the small intestine. • Statement 3 is correct because the small intestine is the main site for nutrient absorption. • Statement 4 is correct because the liver produces bile, which aids in the digestion of fats in the small intestine.
