When a person ingests caffeine, whether in the form of a cup of coffee or tea, a caffeinated soda, or even a piece of dark chocolate, the drug begins to take effect almost immediately. First, caffeine enters the bloodstream through the membranes of the stomach and small intestine. It is then metabolized by the liver, which breaks it down into other chemicals. Within fifteen minutes of consumption, most people begin to feel the effects of caffeine, which can include increased heart rate and feelings of alertness or well-being. Within six hours of consumption, about half of the original dose of the drug will have been eliminated from the body. This is why some people drink a second cup of coffee in the afternoon. what type of text structure is it?

Chronological order because it starts by saying first and so on

I would say that this is sequence. The text explains the progression of caffeine throughout the body, so it is explaining what happens in a sequence. It could be argued that the structure is cause and effect due to it explaining the effects of caffeine and what people do because of it, but I think it is more likely that the text is in a sequence text structure.
