- The digestive system has several important functions. The physiological processes involved in the uitlisation of food happens in a specific order. Explain why digestion needs to happen before absorption. Make use of the macronutrient proteins as an example to explain your answer and to describe its digestion and absorption in detail.arrow_forwardEnumerate at least three (3) importance of nutrients. Differentiate macronutrients and micronutrients. Provide three (3) examples of each. Provide a chemical test to detect the presence of the following: a.) carbohydrates b.) proteins c.) fats d.) calciumarrow_forwardIf there was India Ink added to a culture of Paramecium caudatum, it would increase the average number of food vacuoles because India ink contains no sugar or nutrients and the formation of food vacuoles would be the first stage in the metabolic process when digesting nutrient-rich particles. What would be the observed effects on the number of food vacuoles of different concentrations such as 1% (v/v), 10% (v/v), and 25% (v/v) of India ink?

If false, correct them:(a) Boron deficiency leads to stout axis.(b) Every mineral element that is present in a cell is needed by the cell.(c) Nitrogen as a nutrient element, is highly immobile in the plants.(d) It is very easy to establish the essentiality of micronutrients because theyare required only in trace quantities.arrow_forward
