BIO digestionsystem

QuestionAnswer
Three main fluid components of body Plasma, Intestinal Fluid, Cytoplasm
These macro molecules provide our body with nutrients that make energy, regulate cellular activities and build and repair tissues, the 4 main ones are ? Carbohydrates (CHO), Lipids, Protein, Nucleic Acids
Carbohydrates contain C,H &0, (1C,2H,10)
Carbohydrates provide short or long term energy storage
Simple Sugars (Monsaccarides) 3-7 carbons in length ex glucose, frutose
Simple Sugars (Disaccharides) made from two simple sugars ex sucrose, maltose and lactose
Polysaccharieds. (Energy stored in plants) starch
Polysaccharieds, (Energy stored in animals) glycogen
Polysaccharieds (stored in plant cell walls) cellulose
Lipids are - insoluble in water
triglyceride glycerol backbone + 3 fatty acids (looks like a bubble letter E)
Function of a lipid energy stored molecules, form a main part of a cell membrane)
Protein are made from sub units called amino acids, linked together by pep tide bonds (o-o-o-o-o)
Function of a protein enzymes, antibodies, builds and repairs muscles & cell membranes)
Whats an enzyme biological catalyst, increases the rate of reaction
Nucleic acid - Directs growth and development of an organism
What are the two types of Nucleic acids RNA and DNA
whats RNA ribonucleic acid
DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid
Macromolecules must be chemically and physically broken down before they can be absorbed by the cell lining of the intestines
Process that uses water to to break the bonds holding macromolecules together. Also requires enzymes Hydrolysis
Minerals and vitamins are -Vital for life -organinic and inorganic substances
Minerals and vitamins alow what to occur chemical reactions
Why do minerals and vitamins allow chem.reactions to occur ? To aid in tissue development, growth and immunity.
Roles of Water in your body -Transport dissolved nutrients to the cells that line the small intestines
water helps flush _____ out of the body toxins
_____ lubricates tissues and joints Water
Water forms these essential body fluids Blood and mucus
Water regulates Body temp
How does water eliminate waste materials swear and urine
FUN FACT water is lost 1.5 L from urine and 1 L, breathing, perspiration, and bowel movement
Heterotrophs must consume ______ to obtain energy yielding food other organisms
-aquatic animals use this -obtain small organisms to digest Filter feeders
Substrate filters live in or on their food source then eat their way through it
obtain food by sucking or licking nutrient rich fluids from live plants or animals Fluid Feeders
Bulk feeders ingest large peices of food
4 stages of food possessing Ingestion, Digestion, Absorption and Elimination
eating food Ingestion
breakdown of food Digestion
Transports the products of digestion to the digestive system Absorption
removal of waste from the body Elimination
A tube where food is processed, it can be closed or opened Alimentary Canal
starts in the mouth moves along to various tubes, physical digestion occurs by muscle contractions Physical Digestion
starts in the mouth, amylase is mixed into the food and starts to chemically break stuff down. Chemical digestion
Carnivores have a _________ digestive tracts because they need ___________ shorter, less time for proper digestion
Herbivores and Carnivores tend to have _____ digestive tracts because the ________are more difficult to digest than animal tissues longer, digestion of cellulose in the wall of the plant cells
Produce Saliva to begin chemical digestion (chemical or physical) Salivary Glands. (Chem.)
teeth (phys or chem) chew/break down food (phys)
The tube where food passes through the mouth to the stomach (phys or chem) Esophagus (phys)
Stomach temporarily stores food, chem digestion takes place.
Duodenum food passes from the stomach , nutrients are absorbed
Jejunum follows after the duodenum breaks down renaming proteins and carbs
Ileum absorbs nutrients pushes the undigested stuff into the large intestine
absorbs water from the alimentary canal, breaks down undigested materials Large instestine
Watery Secretion in the mouth that begins the digestive process Saliva
Peristalsis series of muscular contractions
Gastric Juices mixture of hydrochloric acids, salts, enzymes, water and mucus
Chyme Thick liquid produced in the stomach
What is chyme made of digested food with gastric juices
an enzyme in gastric juice that helps break down protein into polypeptides Pepsin
Lines the surface of the small intestines to help absorb nutrients Villi
helps digest fat Bile
What are the accessory organs Pancreas, gull bladder and liver
Why are the Pancreas, gull bladder and liver called the accessory glands they provide aid to the digestion system
Chemically digests carbs, lipids and proteins, contains bicarbonates Pancreas
helps digestion of fats liver
stores bile between meals Gull Bladder
two factors that affect enzyme functions temperature and P.H levels
Energy is added to higher temp, enzyme activity increases Temperature
Enzymes function best in a optimal Ph P.H level
Absorbed into the blood stream through the lining of the stomach, transported into the liver, converted into glucose, carried from liver to all parts of the bodies Monosaccharides
carried from the blood stream to the small intestine to the liver Amino acids
absorbed into the cells of small intestines, coated with protein to be made water soluble. Glycerol and fatty acids
wave like muscular contractions and relaxations, uses circular and longitudinal muscles that move along various parts of the digestive tract Peristalis
temporarily holds partially digested food in the intestine and mixes it using the circular muscles present Rhythmical segmentation
Mechanically breaks down large pieces of food into smaller pieces Physical Digestion
Physical Digestion occurs where mouth and stomach
