The table below shows the proportions of undigested and digested carbohydrates, fats and proteins in three regions of the digestive system.

1 | 2 | 3 |
A | protein | fat |

B |
starch | protein | fat |
C |
protein | starch |

D | fat | protein |

E |
starch | fat | protein |
F | fat | starch |

The correct answer is B.
Looking at the first column titled ‘mouth’, only digested food of nutrient 1 is present, whilst nutrients 2 and 3 remain fully digested. Only starch is digested in the mouth (by salivary amylases), therefore nutrient 1 must be starch. So the answer must be B or E. Looking at the second column titled ‘stomach’, nutrient 2 is partially digested whilst nutrient 3 remains fully undigested. Only proteins are digested in the stomach (by proteases such as pepsin), therefore nutrient 2 must be protein. Therefore B is the correct answer.
