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

For each tube‚ explain why it would have exhibited that that level of digestion. Answer: |Tube with greatest amount of digestion: | |Test Tube 4

fragments. This step is made possible by the contraction of the muscle of the stomach‚ the muscularis. Composed of three layers of fibers arranged longitudinally‚ circular and oblique‚ it mixes and kneads the food. Then begins the chemical digestion. Only the digestion of proteins begins in the stomach. The mucosa contains glands that secrete gastric juices. Under normal conditions‚ the production of juices is 2 to 3 L per day. Hydrochloric acid and enzymes are also produced by cells of the stomach. All

DIGESTION IN THE MOUTH: Food is mechanically cut by incisors and canines‚ chewed by molars and premolars‚ and mixed with saliva by the tongue. The saliva has been produced by salivary glands‚ which pour it into the mouth through salivary ducts. This process of introducing food into the mouth is called ingestion. Chewing breaks food into smaller particles so that chemical digestion can occur faster. This cutting and mixing is called mastication. Moreover‚ food is chemically digested by salivary

Goldfish Respiration Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to design and conduct a basic scientific experiment‚ identify and control variables. Some other objectives that we learned is to write a formal hypothesis‚ identify the basic and integrated process skills of science that were used in this experiment. Also‚ we will learned the effects of temperature on goldfish respiration. This experiment will be conducted with four students ‚ one goldfish‚ thermometer‚ a stop watch‚ and a beaker

around the plant as needed. The mesophyll cells have chloroplasts and this is where photosynthesis occurs. Respiration can be defined as the oxidation of the end products of glycolysis with the storage of the energy in the form of ATP. Cellular respiration occurs when oxygen is available‚ and the products are carbon dioxide and water. There are three main pathways in the cellular respiration process. These are: pyruvate oxidation‚ the citric acid cycle‚ and the respiratory chain. Pyruvate oxidation

“Respiration” and “Photosynthesis” All life depends on two chemical reactions “Respiration” and “Photosynthesis”. These two processes are quite crucial because they are a source to nearly all life on Earth. Both of these processes are quite similar yet differentiate vastly. In this essay I’ll be comparing and contrasting “Photosynthesis” and “Respiration”. I’ll start by discussing what actually happens
