Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Cells lining the GI tract reproduce very quickly (72 hours) compared with breast tissue, which takes 2 to 3 months to reproduce. The older the person is, the longer it will take for recovery due to the aging process that reduces rate of circulation of blood cells carrying oxygen to and from cells.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The stomach empties into the small intestine where absorption of nutrients occurs. Therefore, very little absorption occurs in the stomach, mostly limited to alcohol and water. The colon allows for water to be absorbed from the feces but does not absorb nutrients.
