Summary Introduction
To determine:
The similarities between digestion in animals and breakdown of gasoline in an automobile.
Introduction:
Digestion is a process of breaking down larger food particles into smaller food particles. Digestion is of two types: mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion is chewing of food in mouth and smooth muscle contraction in stomach, whereas chemical digestion involves hydrolysis of macromolecules into smaller particles. The food that is hydrolyzed is absorbed by the body and the waste is eliminated in the form of feces.

WHAT IF? Suppose you were studying two groupsof obese people with genetic abnormalities in theleptin pathway. In one group, the leptin levels areabnormally high; in the other group, they are abnormally low. How would each group’s leptin levels changeif they ate a low-calorie diet for an extended period?Explain.
WHAT IF? If a zoo animal eating ample food showssigns of malnutrition, how might a researcher determinewhich nutrient is lacking in its diet?
Q)Starting as a lipid in some holiday prime rib, trace the path that energy and biomass make as that lipid is consumed by a college freshman, transported to a cell in the liver and converted into a carbohydrate, and finally as that carbohydrate is burned for energy in a cell in the cells of the shoulder muscles. Following your diagram/model, provide a written explanation for what you diagram/model depicts. Make sure both your model and explanation are clear, concise, and have the appropriate level of detail to clearly demonstrate you understand cellular respiration and the movement of mass and energy in animals.

- Many distance runners “carb load” the day before a big race. How does this eating strategy provide an advantage to the runner? The carbohydrates cause the release of insulin. The excess carbohydrates are converted to fats, which have a higher calorie density. The glucose from the carbohydrates lets the muscles make excess ATP overnight The excess carbohydrates can be stored in the muscles as glycogen.arrow_forwardActivity : 1 assending starch digestion by salvary amylase : Always perfoms before you start activites and questions before gathering data amylase : Before you start equation starch + water _____ amylase , maltose 1 . ) describe the usual role of salivary and pancreatic amylase in digestion : identify reactant : prodcut : body location body temperature ( c) : Ph : What do you effect do you think freezing will have on the enzyme amylase ?arrow_forward3.How does the mouth achieve initial digestion of carbohydrates?

- ASAP How does the food system affect us? Why does the food system matter to us?arrow_forwardIntroduction to Experiment 2: Protein Digestion by Pepsin In this experiment, we will look at for evidence of protein digestion using albumin, a protein, and Biuret reagent. Biuret reagent is used to test for the presence of proteins, or more specifically, peptide bonds. When long polypeptide chains are present the solution will turn violet, and when shorter polypeptide chains are present the solution will turn a lighter pink color. What is/are the end product(s) of protein digestion? Amino acids What is the purpose of the enzyme pepsin? It helps in the digestion of proteins by breaking down the peptide bonds between amino acids into smaller peptides If protein digestion has occurred, will the solution be violet or pink (choose one)? Hypotheses/Predictions (See Methods section for details): What color do you expect the solution to turn when the P tubes are mixed with Biuret solution and why?
