2.A calorie is a unit of measurement that equals the amount of heat required to raise one liter of water 1 degree Celsius.
Draw a small Key for the colors on the Bottom of your paper.

Mouth
starts mechanical digestion. Food broken into small pieces.

Salivary glands
Chemical digestion Enzyme amylase breaks down starches (carbs) into sugar
Esophagus
Tube for foodfrom mouth to
stomach.
Stomach
Chemical and mechanicalaction. It releases •Mucus to protect &
lubricate•Hydrochloric acid •pepsin to digest proteins.
Pancreas•makes insulin (used to regulate blood sugar levels)•neutralizes stomach acid. •Release enzymes to Break down:
proteinsfatsNucleic Acids
Liver
Makes bile which is stored in the gallbladder.
Gallbladder
stores bile which acts
like a detergent to break down fats (lipids)
we eat.
Small intestine
a sight of:
•chemical digestion •absorption of nutrients.
Large intestine
•Food that enters the Lg. Intestine is mostly cellulose (fiber), water & indigestible matter.
•Removes water from waste and returns it to bloodstream.
Appendix
No longer used to digest tough fibrous leaves our ancestors ate.
Anus
•Fiber and indigestible matter leave body as waste(fecal material)
•If large intestine fails to remove excess water you have diarrhea.
To test for sugar(carbs.) use Benedict’s Solution Blue & heatIf there is sugar The color changesTo orange.
