Question

Explain carefully what is wrong with each of these statements,

and suggest what should have been said instead:
(a) "The function of the stomach is to digest food."

(b) "The small intestine absorbs your food."

(c) “Amylase breaks down starch to glucose."

(d) "The stomach contains acid because the protease enzyme
there works best at pH 2."

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is partially correct but lacks specificity. While the small intestine is responsible for the majority of nutrient absorption, it doesn't absorb the food itself. Instead, the small intestine absorbs the nutrients from the food. To correct the statement, it should say: "The small intestine absorbs nutrients from the food."
