    Specification Link

    This digestive system diagram is used for: Recall the main sites of production and action of amylase, proteases and lipases.

    What To Explain

    Digestive organs and enzymes break large insoluble food molecules into smaller soluble molecules that can be absorbed.

    Exam Answer Move

    This is tied to: Recall the main sites of production and action of amylase, proteases and lipases. The learner should explain digestion, enzymes or absorption.
