Digestion Lab Abstract – The purpose of this lab was to understand how different solutions played a role in the digestion protein. By looking at different variables‚ such as temperature‚ and pH we’re capable of understanding just how certain substances functioned and when they didn’t. The data for all labs are clear and concise and give a clear understanding of what solutions work best. All three labs were placed in a warm water bath set at 37’C to stimulate the reaction as if it were taking place

Human Digestion April 27th‚ 2014 SCI/241 Erica Leath The digestive system is a very interesting process that takes place after we have eaten a meal or a snack. The digestive system is responsible for breaking down the food that we have eaten and sending the nutrients to the different places in the body. The digestive is so amazing because it recognizes what your body needs and does not need and understands how to separate the two. Just like everything else in our body‚ the digestive

Human Digestion Shaunda SCI/241 05/16/14 Human Digestion From what I have learned from the weekly readings and watching the animated digestive tract. When humans digest food‚ we go through a complex process‚ in which the food eaten is turned into energy that is needed in order to survive. During the digestion process the food eaten becomes waste that has to be eliminated eventually. I will discuss how this process works in each area of mouth‚ stomach‚ small intestine

Week 7 Digestion Lecture Study Guide Based on information found in the lecture folder or other sources‚ answer the following questions. 1. What is digestion? Digestion is the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food into usable molecules 2. List some other names of the digestive tract. Alimentary Canal (GI Tract) 3. Explain where and how the mechanical breakdown of food occurs. Teeth begin digestion mechanically‚ Chewing (“mastication”) breaks apart food‚ 2 sets

EXPERIMENT NO. 12 DIGESTION IN THE STOMACH ABSTRACT____________________________________________________________________________ Digestion refers to the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food into smaller components that can undergo absorption. The objective of this experiment is to investigate mainly the process of digestion in the stomach. The conditions at which the enzymes responsible for the digestion process were determined. Also‚ the total and free acidity of gastric juice of the sample

Energy in context Introduction Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into smaller molecules so they can pass though the intestinal wall into the bloodstream and be transported throughout the body. There are seven different food groups in a balanced diet which should include Carbohydrate‚ fat‚ water‚ protein‚ fibre‚ vitamins and minerals. Although most foods contain these in some shape or form the foods that contain most of one type fall into that category‚ a chicken

body. You might find yourself asking‚ what does blood have to do with digestion‚ respiration and circulation? Hopefully‚ after the presentation all of your questions will be answered. When a person thinks of digestion they usually think about what happens in the stomach. A lot has happened to digest the food way before it gets to the stomach. It starts in the mouth or oral cavity. It is a process called mechanical digestion. First‚ Mastication begins. Mastication is the chewing of the food
