Question
Answer
what are the accessory digestive organs   teeth, salivary glands, gallbladder, liver and pancreas  
🗑
alimentary canal or G.I tract   consists of mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine  
🗑
name the two groups the organs of the digestive system are seperated into   alimentary canal also known as gi tract and accessory digestive organs  
🗑
once food has been ingested and digested what comes next   absorption where the bodys cells absorb the broken down good molecules  
🗑
what cells line the digestive tract   epithelial cells  
🗑
what is the process called where ingested food becomes available to body cells   digestion  
🗑
how can ingested good become available to the body cells   it must first be broken down chemically and physically. physically = chewing chemically= enzymatic hydrolysis  
🗑
alimentary canal   the digestive system consists of a hollow tube extending from the mouth to the anus  
🗑
state the overall function of the digestive system   eliminate undigested food provide th body with nutrients and water ingest, digest,and absorb food  
🗑
trypsin is a protease similar to pepsin the protein digesting enzyme in the stomach, would trypsin work well in the stomach   no the stomach is highly acidic while trypsin works well in the neutral basic environment of the small intestine  
🗑
list three characteristics of enzymes   protein molecuels, biological catalyst, hydrolases  
🗑
name the end products of digestion for protiens   amino acids  
🗑
name the end products of digestion for carbohydrats   simple sugars  
🗑
name the end products of digestion for fats   fatty acids and glycerol  
🗑
what do segmental movements do   they serve mainly to mix foodstuffs with digestive juices  
🗑
define segmental movements   local constrictions of the organ wall that occur rhythmically  
🗑
define peristalic movements   the major means of propelling food through most of the digestive viscera  
🗑
define substrate   the material or substance or molecules on which an enzyme acts on  
🗑
define enzyme   large protein molecules produced by body cells also biological catalysts  
🗑
define catalyst   they increase the rate of a chemical reaction without themselves becoming part of the product  
🗑
define hydrolase   an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of a chemical bond  
🗑
hydrolysis   the chemical breakdown of a compound due to the reaction with water  
🗑
define controls   specimens or standards agaianst which experimental samples are comapred  
🗑
which enzyme is necessary for starch digestion   salivary amylase  
🗑
what reagent is used for the starch test   lugols IKI solution positive = blue black negative= no color change  
🗑
what reagent is used for sugar test   benedicts solution positive= green to orange percipitat  
🗑
what enzyme is used for protein digestion   trypsin  
🗑
what substance is used to test for hydrolysis   BAPNA Positive= yellow negative=clear  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
