27
Distinguish between chemical and physical digestion
Physical is the mechanical breakdown of food by chewing, Chemical is the breakdown of food because of the action of acid
28

Above
32
Where is bile stored after it’s been made in the liver
Gall bladder

Two functions of the liver
Storage of vitamins, heat generation
34
Name a process involved in the passage of products of digestion into the blood
Passive transport/ diffusion
35
Why low PH important in stomach
Kills germs, optimal PH for enzymes
36
