They are classified in six main groups. Carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ fats‚ vitamins‚ minerals and water are all the different groups. Proteins are nutrients that help build and

Digestion a. The mouth: salivary alpha enzyme chew food‚ perceive taste‚ moisten food with saliva‚ lubricate food with mucus‚ release starch –digesting (amylase) enzymes‚ initiate swallowing reflex - Enzyme: alpha amylase with cooked starch as substrate – starch digestion enzyme an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of starch into sugar - The Functions of Saliva - 1. Moistens and lubricates food‚ permitting swallowing 2. Holds taste producing substances in solution and bring them in

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

Define the following terms: Digestion: Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food substances in small and soluble one by means of mechanical and chemical actions. Peristalsis: It is a series of alternate contraction and relaxation of the circular and longitudinal muscles‚ producing a wave-like motion to move food down the oesophagus‚ from the mouth to the stomach. Emulsification: It is the hydrolysis of a few large fat globules into many small and soluble fat molecules. Transpiration:

Types of Variables Binary variable Obsevations (i.e.‚ dependent variables) that occur in one of two possible states‚ often labelled zero and one. E.g.‚ “improved/not improved” and “completed task/failed to complete task.” Categorical Variable Usually an independent or predictor variable that contains values indicating membership in one of several possible categories. E.g.‚ gender (male or female)‚ marital status (married‚ single‚ divorced‚ widowed). The categories are often assigned numerical

Living Digestion The first step in the journey of a sandwich is the mouth‚ where mastication occurs. The salivary glands secrete saliva which includes enzyme amylase. The teeth masticate and reduce the food into smaller pieces. The tongue moves the food around and enables swallowing. While the food is being broken into smaller pieces‚ amylase breaks down the carbohydrates found in the bread. After chewing (or mastication) is done‚ the food moves down the esophagus through peristalsis. The epiglottis

Biology Digestion IA 13/03/2013 Jason Gao Rationale: Digestion is the chemical breakdown of food into smaller components that are more easily absorbed. Digestion is a form of catabolism: a breakdown of large food molecules to smaller ones. When food enters into stomach‚ gastric juice starts protein digestion. Gastric juice mainly contains hydrochloric acid and pepsin. The pH value of hydrochloric in the stomach
