C. Arrange the process of digestion in order. 1. Complete digestion of food occurs with the help of digestive juices produced by the small intestine. 2. Saliva mixes with food and makes it soft and moist. 3. Teeth break the food into small pieces. 4. Excess water from the food is removed in the large intestine. 5. The food gets churned and mixes with the digestive juices released by the stomach.
Answers
Answer:
1]Digestive juice produced by the small intestine combines with pancreatic juice and bile to complete digestion. The body completes the breakdown of proteins, and the final breakdown of starches produces glucose molecules that absorb into the blood. 2]Food and saliva
During mastication the dry, crumbly or disintegrating food turns into a soft, cohesive lump, the “bolus”. This bolus is held together by long, thread-like molecules, the mucins, which get tangled up at their ends. Moreover, mucins bind large quantities of water and thus keep the bolus moist and soft. 3]When you put food in your mouth, your teeth break the food into smaller pieces, and the salivary glands under your tongue and on the sides and roof of your mouth release saliva. This saliva mixes with your food to make it easier to swallow. 4]Absorption of Water and Elimination of Wastes
The waste is in a liquid state. As the waste passes through the colon, which is the second part of the large intestine, excess water is absorbed. After the excess water is absorbed, the remaining solid waste is called feces. 5]In the stomach, acids and enzymes are secreted to break down food into its nutrient components. The churning of the stomach helps to mix the digestive juices with the food, turning it into a substance called chyme.
