Based on the image above. If a potato was digested with this digestive system one would be able to make the following conclusions. (check all that are correct)

• Most of the calories in the potato would be from complex carbohydrates.

• No absorption of any nutrients would have occurred.

• Some of the complex carbs would have been converted into simple sugars

• The pancreatic enzymes amlyase would have been responsible for the breakdown of the complex carbs into simple sugars.

• Zero percent of the water in the potato would have been absorbed.

Based on the images above. If a potato was digested with this both these digestive systems one would be able to make the following conclusions. (check all that are correct)

• The digestive system shown in the lower photo should release more calories from the complex carbs in the potato than the upper one.

• Absorption of some nutrients would have occurred in the lower photo.

• Zero percent of the water in the potato would have been absorbed by both systems.

• The food in the lower photo has been turned into chyme.

• The pH of the stomach would be low.

Based on the image above. If steamed tofu was digested with this digestive system one would be able to make the following conclusions. (check all that are correct)

• Most of the calories in the tofu would be from proteins and fats.

• No absorption of any nutrients would have occurred.

• The proteins would have been broken down by the pancreatic enzyme trypsin.

• The pancreatic enzymes lipase would have been responsible for the breakdown of the fats.

• Zero percent of the water in the potato would have been absorbed.
