Question

Which of the following best describes a part of the process of digestion?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D. A description of a part of the process of digestion is that nutrients are absorbed through the intestine wall into the bloodstream.

Explanation:

The energy that the human body requires in order to properly function is all derived from the food we ingest. In order for the body to assimilate that food, the digestive system, through a process called digestion, breaks down the food we just ate and transforms it into a source of energy. Digestion is done physically and chemically with the help of different organs of the body. Once the food has been chewed and swallowed, which is the physical part of the process, it is not the time for organs such as the small intestine to transform that food into energy. In the small intestine, the body uses enzymes that release chemicals that help nutrients to be absorbed through the intestine's walls into the bloodstream, ultimately these nutrients will be stored as energy for the body to carry the diverse functions it needs to do.

Answer 2
