Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A student in Trinidad studied the structure of the small intestine and observed finger-like projections lining its inner surface. What is the primary function of these structures in the absorption of digested food?

  1. To secrete digestive enzymes into the intestine
  2. To increase the surface area for absorption
  3. To push food along the digestive tract
  4. To store digested food before absorption
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BTo increase the surface area for absorption
Award 1 mark for identifying that villi increase surface area for efficient absorption of nutrients. A is incorrect — villi do not secrete digestive enzymes; this is the function of glands. C is incorrect — peristalsis moves food, not villi. D is incorrect — villi do not store food.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

In the liver, excess glucose absorbed from a meal of rice and peas is converted to glycogen for storage. This process is an example of:

  1. Digestion
  2. Egestion
  3. Assimilation
  4. Absorption
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CAssimilation
Award 1 mark for recognising that assimilation is the process by which absorbed nutrients are used or stored by body cells. A is incorrect — digestion is the breakdown of food, not its use. B is incorrect — egestion is the removal of undigested waste. D is incorrect — absorption is the uptake of nutrients into the blood, which has already occurred.

How many CXC CSEC Biology questions on Absorption and Assimilation of Digested Food are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Absorption and Assimilation of Digested Food for CXC CSEC Biology, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CXC paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Biology?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown.

Are the Absorption and Assimilation of Digested Food questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Biology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Biology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Absorption and Assimilation of Digested Food typically tested on CXC CSEC Biology papers?
Absorption and Assimilation of Digested Food appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Biology papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions.
