Question

A drug that alters digestive tract acidity may interact with diet by altering ____. ​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Digestive tract acidity plays an important role in nutrient absorption, as it helps break down food and allows for the absorption of nutrients. Altering digestive tract acidity with a drug may therefore impact nutrient absorption, potentially leading to nutrient deficiencies or excesses depending on the specific diet. The other options (food intake, motivation to take the drug, and nutrient excretion) are not directly related to digestive tract acidity and are therefore unlikely to be impacted by a drug that alters acidity.
