Q
  1. Why would the duodenum/small intestine be unable to perform its function without the pancreas?
A

Because the pancreas secretes enzymes like pancreatic amylase and pancreatic lipase to break down food so the small intestine/duodenum would be unable to absorb nutrient molecules into the bloodstream.
