19
New cards

Where is the suns energy stored from photosythesis

in carbon carbon bonds of glucose

20
New cards

What is the basic photosynthesis formula?

6CO2 + 6H2O +Sunlight —> C6H12O6(glucose) + O6

21
New cards

What othere substances do plants make of glucose?

  • Converted to starch for later use

  • Converted to fats, proteins, and Vitamins

22
New cards

What is starch used for?

Storage of energy as seeds, roots, tubers, and for reproduction.

23
New cards

What is Cellular respiration?

a pathway of energy metabolism occurring in cells of aerobic organisms. It results in the production of ATP.

24
New cards

What is Aerobic?

With oxygen

25
New cards

What is metabolism?

process of converting food into energy

26
New cards

Cellular Reparation formula

Glucose(C6H12H6) + 6O2 —> 6 H2O + energy as ATP and Heat is lost

27
New cards

What food molecules can be used in cellular respiration?

Starches can be converted, and so can fats and proteins, but must be modified

28
New cards

cycle how cellular respiration and photosynthesis work together

CO2, H2O, and Sun in. photosynthesis, makes glucose and O2, used in CR make ATP byproduces H2O, CO2 which are used in photosynthesis.

29
New cards

5 main activities of digestion

Ingestion

Mechanical Digestion

Chemical Digestion

Absorption

Excretion

30
New cards

What are the parts of the GI tract and Accessory organs

  • Pharynx esophagus

  • stomach,

  • small intestine(Duodenum, the jejunum, and ileum),

  • large intestine (Cecum, Ascending, transverse, and descending colon),

  • rectum.

 

Acessory: Liver, Pancreas, gall bladder, salivary glands

31
New cards

What is segmentation

localized contractions of circular muscle in the GI tract, isolate small sections of the intestine, moving contents back and forth while continuously subdividing, breaking up and mixing the contents; mixes food with digestive juices and facilitates absorption.

32
New cards

What is hydrolosis

splitting of one molecule with the addition of water

33
New cards

How does Chemical Digestion in the stomach occur?

Hydrocloric Acid Unfolds proteins, pepsin digests proteins. And there is gastric Lipase.

34
New cards

How does the small intestine use mechanical digestion?

With peristalsis, but mostly from Segmentation

35
New cards

Chem Digestion SI

Pancreatic Enzymes

Absorbing cells break down and absorb sugar and proteins

Bile is concentrated and from the gallbladder from the liver

36
New cards

How are things absorbed in the small intestine?

Ilium has large Surphace area folds, Villi (finger like projections) have enterocytes on ends, microvilli of enterocytes make up brush border.

37
New cards

what does the Large intestine do?

absorb remaining 10% of nutrintes

gets remaining water.

Recctum to Anus

38
New cards

what is absorbed in the small intestine bloodstream.

Sugar, amino acids, and small fats

large fat fat-soluble nutrietns are absorbed through the lymphatic system
