Answer to Question 1

5

Answer to Question 2

In cases of severe undernutrition with too little energy and nutrients, the absorptive surface of the small intestine shrinks. The surface may be reduced to a tenth of its normal area, preventing it from absorbing what few nutrients a limited food supply may provide. Malnutrition that impairs digestion is self-perpetuating because impaired digestion makes malnutrition worse.
