mechanical and chemical digestion

Question 1

what is the type of reaction that occurs between an acid and alkali

Answer 1

neutralisation recation

Question 2

function of large intestine?

Answer 2

absorb water in the bloodstreams

Question 3

what is mechanical digestion?

Answer 3

physical action that make the chunks of food smaller

Question 4

what is chemical digestion?

Answer 4

consists in enzymes that convert insoluble molecules into soluble molecules

Question 5

is bile an acid or alkali?

Answer 5

alkali

Question 6

emulsification

Answer 6

bile emulsifies fats as they do not dissolve in water meaning its harder for fats to travel through the digestive system. this increases the surface area for more chemical reactions

Question 7

give two functions of hydrochloric acid in the digestive system:

Answer 7

1- neutralises ph scale in our stomach
2- it kills microorganisms that can produce diseases

Question 8

give two functions of the bile in the digestive system:

Answer 8

1- neutralises hydrochloric acid as bile is an alkali
2-emuslifies fats turning them into smaller molecules and increasing the surface area

Question 9

what are the two types of digestion?

Answer 9

chemical and mechanical digestion

Question 10

name the tissue that allows for mechanical digestion in the stomach:

Answer 10

muscular tissue
