Concept explainers
To determine: The two processes related to most nutrients which are not regulated.
Introduction: The
To describe: The two processes related to most nutrients which are continuously regulated.
Introduction: Absorption is the process of uptake of soluble
To determine: The reason for the difference in the regulation and non-regulation of the processes.
Introduction: The various processes taking place for the complete digestion of nutrients include digestion, motility, secretion, and absorption. Motility is related to the movement of nutrients in the digestive tract along with continuous digestion and secretion of enzymes.
