Vocabulary (10pts). Supply the terms being described on the space provided. (No Erasures)
______________________1) The intake of food, then the breakdown of it in the digestive system and the
absorption of the small molecules into the body
______________________4) Amino acids which must be obtained from the diet in prefabricated form
______________________5) Alternating waves of contraction and relaxation in the smooth muscles lining the
canal

off the alimentary canal
______________________8) Glands that deliver saliva through ducts to the oral cavity.
______________________9) An enzyme found in saliva that hydrolyzes starch and glycogen into smaller
polysaccharides and the disaccharide maltose
Multiple Choice (10pts). Write the letter of the best answer on the space provided. (No Erasures)
