Question
match each accessory organ with the specific substance it produces to aid digestion.
(2 points)
salivary glands produce amylase to begin carbohydrate breakdown.
liver secretes juice to neutralize acid and digest all food types.
pancreas produces bile to break down fats.
Brief Explanations
To solve this matching problem, we recall the functions of each accessory organ:
- Salivary glands: Produce saliva containing amylase, which starts carbohydrate breakdown. This match is correct.
- Liver: Produces bile, which emulsifies (breaks down) fats. The original match here is incorrect; it should be matched to "Produces bile to break down fats."
- Pancreas: Secretes pancreatic juice that neutralizes stomach acid and contains enzymes to digest carbohydrates, proteins, and fats (all food types). The original match here is incorrect; it should be matched to "Secretes juice to neutralize acid and digest all food types."
So the correct matches are:
- Salivary glands → Produce amylase to begin carbohydrate breakdown. (correct as is)
- Liver → Produces bile to break down fats.
- Pancreas → Secretes juice to neutralize acid and digest all food types.
