Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the difference between feeding and digestion: Feeding refers to the intake of food, while digestion is the process of breaking down food into smaller components that can be absorbed by the body.
Recognize the sequence of digestion: In most animals, including wolves, mechanical digestion (physical breakdown of food) typically precedes chemical digestion (enzymatic breakdown of food).
Clarify the process of elimination: Elimination is the removal of waste products from the body, not excessive nutrients.
Understand enzymatic hydrolysis: This process breaks down large carbohydrates into small sugars, not the other way around.
During absorption, small molecules such as amino acids and simple sugars are absorbed into the bloodstream from the digestive tract, which is the correct statement about nutrition and digestion.
