Question Image

Add each label to the appropriateness of the diagram. Some labels should be written in two places.

Labels to add

  • Physical digestion, increases the surface area of food (two places)
  • The gall bladder
  • Amylase is secreted (two places)
  • Amylase acts on starch (two places)
  • Lipase breaks down fats
  • Absorption happens
  • Secretes a liquid with a low pH, which kills bacteria
  • Protease is secreted (two places)
