Most digestion takes place where?

65% Answer Correctly

stomach

large intestine

mouth

small intestine


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.


4

62% Answer Correctly

capillaries

blood cells

78% Answer Correctly

geosphere

lithosphere

hydrosphere

atmosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships.
