Expert Solution

Step 1

According to our guideline we can answer only the first three subparts of a question. So, upload the other parts separately.

The digestive system is responsible for the digestion absorption and assimilation of nutrients. Different parts of the digestive system perform specific functions. Different enzymes that are secreted by specific parts of the digestive system are responsible for the digestion of specific macromolecules into there absorbable smallest biomolecules.
