Explanation / Answer

Answer-38: Human eating peanuts. Presence of proteases and peptones helps in increasing the digestion of protein products. Higher the digestion rate, faster will be the absorption rate in small intestine and therefore higher will be the assimilation rate.

Answer-39: Avocado moth eating avocado. Moths already intake the food substance in very small pieces which will fasten the digestion process by increasing the surface area for the proper enzymatic actions.

Answer-40: Human eating steak. This is because, humans have teeth which causes cutting of food into small chunks which causes easy to the enzymes degrading the particles into simpler form which will be digested faster and assimilated. However, turtles lack teeth, so they swallow the large chunks instead of chewing action performed by humans.

Answer-41: Aphids eating sap. This is because, leaves will take longer to digest and further to be assimilated; whereas, sap has dissolved ions and minerals which are digested and assimilated with ease.
