Digestion
WATER
100
This enzyme begins chemical digestion of proteins
Pepsin
100
Name any 1 of 3 enzymes that complete carbohydrate digestion
Maltase, Sucrase, Lactase
100
These are used for the physical break down of food in the mouth
Teeth
100
This organ releases bicarbonate ions into the small intestine to neutralize acids from the stomach
Pancreas
100
This is partially digested food that enters the small intestine. (has the consistency of puree soup)
Chyme
100
Type of bonds WITHIN a water molecule
Covalent
200
This enzyme digests polysaccharides into disaccharides and is located in the mouth.
Salivary amylase
200
This enzyme breaks lipids into fatty acids and glycerol in the small intestine
Lipase
200
The organ where digestion finishes and absorption of nutrients takes place.
small intestine
200
These are finger like tubes found on the walls of the intestine to increase surface area and absorb nutrients
Villi
200
When lipids are digested, they break down into what?
1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids
200
What makes water SO amazing!
it's polarity due to hydrogen bonding. 
300
This enzyme completes protein digestion, breaking dipeptides down into individual amino acids and is released from the small intestine
Peptidase
300
This acid is found in the stomach and creates a very acidic environment
HCl (Hydrochloric acid)
300
This is an open area at the back of the mouth where the nose and mouth come together
Pharynx
300
3 functions of this organ are to synthesize vitamins B and K, the elimination of waste, and to absorb water.
Large intestine
300
What monomers are carried to the cells by the bloodstream from the small intestine?
Amino acids and glucose (monosaccharides)
300
As a result of hydrogen bonding, water's tendency to stick to itself.
cohesion
400
These enzymes break down proteins into shorter peptides in the small intestine and are released from pancreas.
Trypsin and chympotrypsin
400
This substance keeps the food lubricated and keeps the walls of the stomach from being digested by its own secretions
Mucus
400
This tube carries food from the pharynx to the stomach
Esophagus
400
Name the wave of muscular contractions that push food along the digestive tract
Peristalsis
400
This is a small pouch located at the junction of the small and large intestine. It can become infected and require surgery.
Appendix
400
As a result of hydrogen bonding, water's tendency to stick to OTHER things.
Adhesion
500
This enzyme breaks starch (polysaccharide) into disaccharides in the small intestine.
Pancreatic Amylase
500
This emulsifies fats into smaller fat globules in the small intestine
Bile
500
What is the name of the first part of the small intestine
Duodenum
500
What are the 4 accessory organs?
Salivary glands, pancreas, liver, gall bladder
500
How are fats absorbed and carried to the cells?
Absorbed by the LYMPH in the villi and carried to the subclavian vein and then dumped into the blood stream.
500
Due to it's polarity, water has these amazing qualities: (list 4)
1. Universal solvent
2. Cohesion
3. Adhesion
4. Surface tension
5. Capillary Action
