Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth. Chemical digestion begins in the stomach and continues through the small intestine, where enzymes aid in digestion. Deamination produces ammonia, which enters the liver and kidneys. The remaining parts are used for energy or are converted to carbohydrate or fat and stored as glycogen or adipose tissue. (Each of these processes should be discussed thoroughly.)
