Picture this: you're grinding through homework, and suddenly a Digestive System question brings you to a dead stop. It's frustrating, but the fix is actually simpler than you think.
Did you make this error?
- The Trap: assuming the stomach absorbs nutrients
- The Proof: Read this scenario: The stomach's primary job is mechanical breakdown and protein digestion (using acid and pepsin). Almost all nutrient absorption happens later in the small intestine.
If your logic doesn't match the proof above, you've fallen for the trap. Erase it and start over.
