Protein: egg Carbohydrate: bear Fat: marjorine
3) The digestive system is a tube that is up 9 meters peristalsis amylase, minerals,
long (2 marks) vitamins, fat, metres, kilometres,
4) Ch – Food is made up of large molecules that molecules, small, large, oesophagus,
need to be broken down into small molecules(2 barium
marks)

5) What is the job of the teeth? (1 mark) shred the 1, 9

food.

6) Ch – What is the digestive enzyme in saliva that

chemically breaks down starch in food? (1 mark)

Esophagus
8) What is the job of the tube that tube that connects the mouth to the stomach? Ch – what is

the digestive tract. Is called peristalsis
9) Why does the stomach have elastic walls? (1 mark)
Stretches the food collects inside, every now and again the stomach muscles

an acid that contains digestive enzymes
12) Where does the food go to after it is in the stomach? (1 mark)
Passes to the first part of the small intestine
13) What nutrients that have large molecules are digested in the small intestine before being

Starch, protein and Fat
14) Ch – the small intestine has a large surface area because it has a lot of villis and is
