Answer» Answer: After food enters your stomach, the stomach muscles mix the food and LIQUID with digestive juices. The stomach slowly empties its contents, called CHYME, into your small intestine. 2. Protein digestion occurs in the stomach and duodenum in which 3 main enzymes, pepsin secreted by the stomach and trypsin and chymotrypsin secreted by the pancreas, break down food PROTEINS into polypeptides that are then broken down by various exopeptidases and dipeptidases into amino acids. 3. The final stage of the digestive system is the colon (large intestine) which absorbs water and salts before the remains are passed out of the RECTUM as faeces. The colon can also help to absorb remaining CARBOHYDRATE and some fats. Explanation: |
