Both the esophagus and the small intestine are involved in the digestion of food. The esophagus squeezes food into the stomach b

y wave-like muscle contractions. Peptidase enzymes in the small intestine break food molecules into smaller molecules.
Which statement best describes changes to food during digestion?
A) The muscle contractions result in physical changes, while the action of the peptidase results in chemical changes.
B) The muscle contractions and the action of the peptidase both result only in physical changes.
C) The muscle contractions result in chemical changes, while the action of the peptidase results in physical changes.
D) The muscle contractions and the action of the peptidase both result only in chemical changes.

Amylase converts starch to glucose. So the one that didn't have starch in it would not show glucose formation because the amylase didn't have starch to convert to glucose.

Why does the rate of heart beat increases during exercise?
kherson [118]

During exercises, our muscles needed energy for contractions. The heart pumps more rapidly and more powerfully during this time for a few reasons.


First, more oxygen and nutrients like glucose can be transported to the heart. Muscle cells uses oxygen and glucose for aerobic respiration to generate energy.


Secondly, more carbon dioxide and waste can be transported away from the muscles. Waste products from aerobic respiration includes carbon dioxide or water etc. The faster the heart pumps, the faster the blood gets transported so more waste can be carried away.


Thirdly, lactic acid can be carried away too. When oxygen supply is not enough, the cells undergo anaerobic respiration to generate energy. This type of respiration does not require oxygen, but a waste product called lactic acid is produced. Lactic acid must be carried away from cells because they're harmful. Therefore, the faster the heart pumps, the more lactic acid gets carried away.


Last but not least, heat can be carried away too. Part of the energy generated is turned into heat. Therefore, in order to help us cool down, blood travels fast to carry heat away from the heat generating muscle cells.
