Fungi make their food via absorption, and a large surface area makes nutrient absorption extremely efficient.


How does the mechanical digestin change the surface area of food?

Breaking down of large macromolecules to monomers is known as catabolism. More the substance is broken down, larger its surface area gets. A particle with more surface area can be easily be metabolized by our body. Enzymes can act with full tendency on particles that have larger surface area and then an be easily digested and absorbed by out boy.

What is the function of the jujenum?

The jejunum is the middle section of the small intestine, situated between the duodenum and the ileum. Its primary function is the absorption of nutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, as well as vitamins and minerals, into the bloodstream. The jejunum has a highly folded inner surface, which increases its surface area for efficient nutrient absorption. Additionally, it plays a role in the digestion of food through the action of digestive enzymes.


What does THS do?

Well, your food is in your mouth, then it gets formed into a boli, which is a ball of food. Then the tongue pushes the boli down the esophogus where it starts to do a wave like motion called the peristalsis. Since it relies on the Digestive system, it is involuntary. So, the esophogus transfers the food down to the stomach, to the small intestine, to the large intestine, and finally down to the anus.
