Answer to Question 1

C
Most digestion and absorption occurs in the small intestine. Denaturation is not part of the diges-tive process. Segmentation occurs in the small intestine, but not excretion. Peristalsis occurs throughout the digestive tract and mechanical digestion occurs in the mouth and stomach.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The RDA for protein for a healthy adult is 0.8 g/kg; therefore, a healthy adult who weighs 75 kg has an RDA for protein of 60 g (0.8 g/kg  75 kg = 60 g).
