After the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in duodenum, the digested nutrients are absorbed in the ileum.
Ileum is a section of the small intestine, after duodenum.
Food is absorbed by diffusion and active transport. Villi on the walls of the ileum helps this process, since it can increase its surface area and provide a good blood supply, thus increase the rate of absorption.
Note that water can also be absorbed in the large intestine, those water absorbed there are the ones that cannot be absorbed in the ileum.
However, not all water is absorbed as we can notice that faeces are wet.
Options:
A. The enzyme lactase will speed up the breakdown of lactose in the small intestines.
B. Reactions that involve enzymes require more energy than reactions without enzymes.
C. The enzyme lactase will slow down the breakdown of lactose in the small intestines.
D. Lactase will require more energy to break down lactose, and less energy is required if it is not present.
Answer:
A. The enzyme lactase will speed up the breakdown of lactose in the small intestines.
Explanation:
A. The enzyme lactase will speed up the breakdown of lactose in the small intestines. - this is true. Lactase is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of lactose. This means it greatly reduces the activation energy required for the breakdown of lactose, and the reaction will happen quicker.
B. Reactions that involve enzymes require more energy than reactions without enzymes. This is false. Reactions that involve enzymes require less energy that reactions without
C. The enzyme lactase will slow down the breakdown of lactose in the small intestines. This is false. It will speed it up
D. Lactase will require more energy to break down lactose, and less energy is required if it is not present. This is false, more energy is required if it is not present
