    Digestion Research Paper

    • 1318 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Digestion is a process in which the food that we eat is broken down into tiny nutrients to be taken in by the body. Within the human digestive system, chemical and physical reactions occur that allow for the digestion and the absorption of proteins into the bloodstream. The purpose of this paper is to show how chemistry relates to the daily functions within the body. There are two types of digestion processes, which are called mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion includes the physical changes and this happens when food is chewed in the oral cavity, and this leads to the chemical digestion, which breaks down proteins in the stomach by the gastric acids. Between these two points, many organs work to extract nutrients from the food to deliver it to the body. These include the oral cavity, esophagus, small and large intestine, and the stomach.…

    the process of digestion

    • 1362 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Over the course of time there have been many difficult questions and theories about everyday life. Using physiology & chemistry, those questions have been able to be answered. From the mixture of gases in the air we breathe to the organic substance of plastic or paper, chemistry can be seen everywhere. However, most people mistook the power of chemistry in our own bodies. How is it that a simple slice of bread, once consumed, can turn into fuel for the human body? Using the digestive system and its many organs through the process of digestion and metabolism is how our bodies receive the energy it needs to continue on throughout the day and the rest of our lives. Chemistry then kicks in as food starts its process from entering to leaving the body, through the rate of our metabolism, and also by the transfer of energy. The chemistry in the digestive system is a very important process, because without it there would be no human life.…
