Matching:
11. Hydrochloric acid is a caustic chemical that can burn your skin and yet it exists in your stomach. How can this be?

A. Your small intestines absorb all of the hydrochloric acid. B. The food in your stomach absorbs all of the acid. C. Your stomach lining protects you against burns. D. The hydrochloric acid in your stomach is different from the hydrochloric acid youd find in a chemistry lab.

12. What is the main function of the villi?

A. They move food from the stomach to the small intestine. B. They absorb nutrients into the bloodstream. C. They absorb water from chime. D. They move food from the small intestine to the large intestine.

13. Most nutrients absorption occurs in the A. Esophagus B. Stomach C. Small Intestine D. Large Intestine

Match the

function of these parts of the digestive system:

14. Hydrochloric acid and pepsin break down proteins.

15. Nutrients are absorbed into the blood through villi.

A
16. Food moves from the mouth to the stomach by peristalsis.

17. Grinds food and begins digestion of carbohydrates with saliva.

18. Water and vitamins are absorbed into the blood. Contains mostly waste.

19. Produces bile to break down fats.

B
20. Stores bile.

C E F G H G I J

21. Produces to 1 liters of enzymes each day that are used to break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. These enzymes enter the duodenum and work on digestion in the small intestine.

H H G

22. Attached to the ascending colon and serves no useful purpose.

23. Staging area where waste collects before passing through the anus.

24. Nutrients enter the blood through villi.

B A C
25. Saliva in the salivary glands prepares to break down carbohydrates into simple sugars. 26. Waste from the blood gets filtered by the kidneys.

27. The large intestine (Transverse Colon) contains mostly waste.

28. Urine prepares to leave the body.

29. Water and vitamins are absorbed into the blood.

F G I J

30. Enzymes from the liver and pancreas enter the small intestine.

31. Hydrochloric acid and pepsin enter the stomach to digest proteins.

32. Mechanical digestion grinds food.

33. Solid waste leaves the body.

Data Analysis - review the data below for Fred, a 22 year old male.
Age Height 58 58 58 58 Weight BMI 205 275 255 196 34% 44.9% 40.8% 29.3% Carbs 680 1316 196 196 Calories taken in Protein Fat Total 923 997 2600 476 1598 1598 1422 401 401 3803 2196 2196

Answer the following questions:

22 23 24 25

Calories burned Exercise Lifestyle BMR 403 374 1889 233 520 751 374 394 504 1889 1889 1889

Total 2666 2496 2907 3117

Note: All data comes from the PHET simulation exercise and eating. BMI = Body Mass Index (% body fat) BMR = Basal Metabolic Rate (calories burned just to stay alive) Lifestyle = level of daily activity (very sedentary/sedentary/moderate active/very active)

34. At age 22, Fred was A. Taking in more calories than he was burning up. B. Burning up more calories than he was taking in. C. Eating more calories of protein than fat. D. None of these.

35. At what age was Freds percent of body fat the highest?

36. At age 24, Fred had a major change in his diet. Describe this change and how it affected his weight and BMI.

37. Between age 22 and 23, Fred put on a bit of weight and his BMI also increased. Explain the factors, based on the data that caused this to happen.

38. At age 25, Fred lost a lot of weight and his body fat (BMI) went way down. He accomplished this without changing his diet from the previous year. According to the data, what is the most likely reason for his weight loss?

Information Analysis refer to the following information from our Enzymes lab to answer these questions.

39. How is lactose broken down into simpler sugars by the digestive system?

40. Will lactase break down the sugar with this structural formula? Why or why not? (use the information above to form your answer)
