Defn. of Digestion: the process whereby a biological entity processes a substance‚ in order to chemically convert the substance into nutrients. It usually involves mechanical manipulation and chemical action. Mechanical Digestion What is it? This type of digestion involves the mixing‚ grinding or crushing of large pieces of food into smaller places. Why does it take place? So that the food we consume is broken down into smaller pieces before we swallow it which in turn makes process of chemical

November 28‚ 2014 ! ! Physical and Chemical Properties! Purpose/Hypothesis:! • The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the chemical and physical properties of pure chemical substances. A property of a substance is some distinguishing characteristic. Some of the most common physical properties are color‚ odor‚ hardness‚ density‚ melting point‚ boiling point‚ and solubility in various solvents. For all of these properties‚ no chemical change takes place. Chemical properties describe the

Digestion Lab Abstract – The purpose of this lab was to understand how different solutions played a role in the digestion protein. By looking at different variables‚ such as temperature‚ and pH we’re capable of understanding just how certain substances functioned and when they didn’t. The data for all labs are clear and concise and give a clear understanding of what solutions work best. All three labs were placed in a warm water bath set at 37’C to stimulate the reaction as if it were taking place

answered about this experiment. 1. What is the identity of Crystal “X”‚ Liquid “Y”‚ and Liquid “Z”? 2. Why were the colors different when Crystal “X” was added to Liquid “Y”‚ but when they were mixed it turned from green to blue? 3. Why did the metal foil turn brownish red once added to Crystal “X” and Liquid “Y” solution? 4. Were Liquid “X” and Liquid “Y” the same liquid? 5.What chemical reaction happened that made vapor during the combination of metal foil and Liquid “Z”? 6. What made the

The digestion process The digestion process begins in the mouth. First we take a bite of food. The presccence of food in the mouth stimulates the flow of saliva from the salivary glands. Saliva moistens the food and carries dissolved food molecules to the taste buds. Saliva helps digest food because it contains enzymes that start to break it down. After the food is covered with saliva‚ you then begin to chew your food. Chewing breaks down food into smaller pieces and also breaks apart fiber that
Premium Digestive system Digestion
Human Digestion Activity The digestive process involves the mixing of food‚ the movement of food through the digestive tract‚ and a chemical breakdown of large molecules of food into smaller molecules. The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract and other organs that aid in digestion. The digestive tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long‚ twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. Those twisted tubes include the mouth‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small and
