Human Digestion Christine Wilkes SCI 241 Natalia Woehl March 8‚ 2011 The human digestion system consists of a series of organs and glads that process the food that we eat. The digestion process starts when food enters the mouth‚ then with the chewing of food. The salivary glads help break down the food with enzymes so that it is easier to swallow. While the food is being chewed it is turned into bolos‚ which then travels down the pharynx and through the esophagus. The esophagus is the long

AN INVESTIGATION TO FIND THE EFFECT OF BILE SALTS OF ON THE DIGESTION OF LIPIDS I have investigated that if there is an effect of bile salts on the digestion of lipids in the milk. When lipids are broken down in to fatty acids and glycerol (see below)‚ the acid lowers the pH of the mixture. To help me determine and measure the digestion of lipids‚ a pH indicator phenolphthalein has been used to measure the pH of the mixtures. The pH indicator will change the colour from pink to either white (if

Mashrek International School Investigate the Factors that Affect the Rate of Respiration in Yeast. (Temperature) Fawzi El Ansari Biology HL Title: Investigate the Factors that Affect the Rate of Respiration in Yeast. (Temperature) Aim: The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of changing the temperature on the rate of respiration in yeast. This will be done by placing equal amounts of yeast in each beaker that contains the same pH solution. Each beaker will be mixed with glucose

Cell Respiration & Photosynthesis BIO STUDY GUIDE (Ch. 9.1-9.5‚ 10.1-10.3) I) CELLULAR RESPIRATION A) Catabolic Pathways A.1) Fermentation: partial degradation of sugar that occurs w/o oxygen A.2) Cellular Respiration: oxygen is used A.3) Redox Reactions (Oxidation-Reduction that exchanges electrons) Oxidation: loss of electrons (energy must be added) Reduction: addition of electrons. (-) charged electrons added to atom reduce amount of (+) charge of that atom A.4) Stepwise Energy Harvest

Carbon cycle essay I eat some corn during lunch and then cellular respiration takes place. During the process of cellular respiration the glucose and oxygen I took in will be turned into carbon‚ water‚ and ATP. I will expel this carbon through my lungs. This carbon then is used by photosynthesis of phytoplankton in the water. During the photosynthesis that takes place‚ sunlight‚ water‚ and carbon are taken in by the plankton and then a fish eats this phytoplankton and this organism dies. When the

Testing for Cellular Respiration by Balloon Inflation Experiment Number 2 Abstract: Through a timed test it was discovered which substance A or substance B contained glucose and when combined with yeast results in respiration; it was found that substance A contained glucose and resulted in respiration when combined with yeast. At 0 minutes all four balloon’s circumference was 9 centimeters; substance B and salt remained the same circumference‚ 9 centimeters‚ for
