Answer:
a. Mastication process and formation of bolus in the oral cavity
b. The contraction in the stomach breaks the food down into smaller pieces. These pieces are then moved to the small intestine.
c. In the small intestine, food particles are broken down into nutrients, fat, protein and carbohydrates which are absorbed into the bloodstream.
Explanation:
a. First step of digestive system functioning is the mastication process and formation of bolus in the oral cavity.
b. The contraction in stomach, with the help of digestive enzymes and acids, break the food down into smaller pieces. The small pieces of food are then released into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
c. In the small intestine, two enzymes released from pancreas and gall bladder break down the food particles into fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Thereon, nutrients and carbohydrates, proteins and fats are absorbed into the bloodstream.
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Complex carbohydrates (AKA polysaccharides like starch)- monosaccharides linked together by glycosidic linkages
Fats (AKA triglycerides) - Fatty acids
Proteins- Amino acids.
2. Name the 3 portions of the small intestine in order - The Duodenum, Jejunum, and Ileum.
3. In which of these 3 portions does the greatest amount of nutrients absorption occur - Jejunum

Still other mutations are caused when DNA gets damaged by environmental factors, including UV radiation, chemicals, and viruses. Few mutations are bad for you.
