What type of food molecules are absorbed through the lining of the small intestine?
small (amino acids, fatty acids, glucose)
Where are the reactants in a chemical equation located?
BEFORE the arrow
What is the name of the process that allows plants to use sunlight to make their own food?
photosynthesis
What other job does Ms. Schoenecker have besides science teacher?
Program Supervisor within the Workforce Development branch of the Federal Department of Energy for Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
Describe the structure and function of the stomach
A sac that mixes food with digestive juices and breaks it down into a liquid.
Villi in the small intestine, just like every living organism, are made out of what?
Cells!
Define the Law of Conservation of Matter
Matter cannot be created or destroyed.
Which structure of a plant absorbs water and nutrients from the soil?

Describe the structure and function of the small intestine.
Absorbs nutrients from digested food into the bloodstream. Long permeable tubing.
This complex food molecule is not digested or absorbed.
Fiber
Based on this chemical formula, how many Carbon atoms and how many Oxygen atoms are present?
3 carbon 6 oxygen
Is photosynthesis an endothermic or exothermic chemical reaction?
Endothermic, absorbs light energy
What is the chemical formula for a glucose molecule?
C6H12O6
Describe the structure and function of the large intestine
Long wide tubing to absorb water and form waste
When we conducted our dialysis tubing experiment, we used a solution of starch and a solution of glucose to determine what types of food molecules can be absorbed in the small intestine.
What was the type of food molecule left remaining in the tubing, and why could this food molecule NOT be absorbed?
Starch, too big!
In an exothermic chemical reaction, the temperature of the surroundings __________________.
Increases as heat is released.
How many gallons of water does a giant sequoia tree need per day in the summer?
500 - 800 gallons of water a day
What is the distance in miles from the Earth to the Moon?
Average of 238,900 mi
Which digestive condition of the large intestine is shown below?
What organ in the digestive system is seen here?

Esophagus
In math and in science, what is the term for the number 3 and the term for the number 2 in this chemical formula?

3 = coefficient 2 = subscript
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is essential for plants because it is a key ingredient in photosynthesis, the process by which plants produce their own food. During photosynthesis, plants use CO₂ from the air, along with sunlight and water, to create glucose, which provides energy for growth, reproduction, and other vital functions.
What structure is responsible for taking in CO₂?
Stoma/Stomata
