ChatGPT

Sure, here are two short structured questions about digestion and absorption with their answers:

Describe the process of digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the human digestive system. (5
marks)

Answer: Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth with the enzyme amylase breaking down complex
carbohydrates into smaller molecules like maltose. Once the food enters the stomach, the acid and
enzymes in the stomach break down the carbohydrates further. The partially digested food then enters
the small intestine, where the pancreatic enzymes complete the breakdown of carbohydrates into
monosaccharides like glucose. The monosaccharides are then absorbed into the bloodstream through
the lining of the small intestine and transported to the liver, where they are either used for energy or
stored for later use.

What are the functions of the liver and gallbladder in the digestive system? (5 marks)

Answer: The liver produces bile, a digestive fluid that helps to emulsify fats in the small intestine, making
them easier to digest and absorb. The bile flows from the liver to the gallbladder, where it is stored until
it is needed. When fat enters the small intestine, the gallbladder contracts and releases the bile into the
small intestine. The liver also plays a role in regulating the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and
fats. Additionally, the liver is involved in detoxifying harmful substances that enter the body, storing
nutrients like vitamins and minerals, and producing important blood-clotting factors.
