Answer to Question 1

C
Most carbohydrate digestion occurs in the small intestine. Salivary amylase begins some carbo-hydrate digestion in the mouth, but this stops in the acid environment of the stomach. The sto-mach is the main site of protein digestion. Very little digestion takes place in the large intestine.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Studies show that an adequate intake of folate before conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy reduces the risk of neural tube defects in infants.
