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
