Summary Introduction
Introduction: The food processing in animals occurs in four stages, namely, ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination. Ingestion is the act of eating food. Digestion is the process of mechanical and chemical breakdown of food into smaller molecules for absorption. In the absorption process, the small molecules of simple sugars and amino acids are absorbed by the cells. Elimination involves the passing out of undigested material from the

A scientist studies the production of a key digestive enzyme in silk moths. The moths have one gene for this enzyme, and the scientist extracts mRNA transcribed from this gene as well as protein translated from it. The gene has three introns in its sequence.
If the same scientist extracts the DNA for this gene and finds that it becomes methylated over the life of the organism, how will digestion change over time?
A.
It will occur at lower pH.
B.
It will rely more on this enzyme over time.
C.
It will use methylated copies of the enzyme.
D.
It will involve a lesser quantity of this enzyme over time.
Explain why protein should be included in the diet.
What will happen to the human body if we are deficient in particular vitamins and trace elements? Give examples of effects of vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
There are 20 amino acids needed to make proteins in the animal body. Why aren't they all considered essential to animal diets?
Compare the incomplete and complete digestive systems.
What are the functions of accessory organs in a complete digestive system?
Explain how digestion is regulated in animals. What are the organ systems involved in regulation of digestion? Explain.
What are the health problems associated with nutrition and digestive system? Give atleast 3 examples with explanation
Which of the following best describe the function of goblet cells in the digestive tract?
A.
produce mucus that protects parts of the digestive organs from the effects of powerful enzymes needed for food digestion
B.
secrete buffers in order to keep the pH of the digestive tract close to neutral
C.
provide protection against invading bacteria and other disease-causing organisms that enter the digestive tract in food
D.
absorb nutrients from digested food and store them for future use
