As the last major topic (and review for the end of the year) you will be tracing the path of a food through the digestive system and the rest of your body. Directions/Requirements Choose a food/meal; the only requirement is that all the essential nutrients (carbs, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water) must be accounted for in the food or meal. You need to include: -The functions of the organs of the digestive system and accessory organs -Where digestion of each of the nutrients (if applicable) occurs -The names of the enzymes involved in digestion of each of the nutrients (if applicable) -What happens to food at each major organ/what form is it in -Where absorption of each of the nutrients (if applicable) occurs -How and to where the nutrients transported and what is their role there (functions) |
