Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The colon absorbs water and sodium. The duodenum, ileum, and jejunum are parts of the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Drugs may alter the cell membrane, causing the cell to rupture and die or they may deprive the cell of certain nutrients, altering the proteins that the cell produces. This could interfere with normal cell functioning and cell division. Diffusion is the movement of a substance from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Endocytosis involves gathering of material into a cell. Homeostasis refers to keeping the cytoplasm stable within the cell membrane. Diffusion, endocytosis, and homeostasis are not the result of chemotherapeutic agents but may be impacted by the agent.
