The energy we get in food is measured in

• food calories

• calories

• caloric units

• food energy units

The muscular contractions that push food through the system are called

• peristalsis

• peritraction

• peristolin

• pericontractions

Based on the image above. If a potato was digested with this digestive system one would be able to make the following conclusions. (check all that are correct)

• Most of the calories in the potato would be from complex carbohydrates.

• No absorption of any nutrients would have occurred.

• Some of the complex carbs would have been converted into simple sugars

• The pancreatic enzymes amlyase would have been responsible for the breakdown of the complex carbs into simple sugars.

• Zero percent of the water in the potato would have been absorbed.

Based on the image above. If steamed tofu was digested with this digestive system one would be able to make the following conclusions. (check all that are correct)

• Most of the calories in the tofu would be from proteins and fats.

• No absorption of any nutrients would have occurred.

• The proteins would have been broken down by the pancreatic enzyme trypsin.

• The pancreatic enzymes lipase would have been responsible for the breakdown of the fats.

• Zero percent of the water in the potato would have been absorbed.

Based on the image above. What has been added.

• Gallbladder

• Pancreas

• Chief Cells

• Capillaries

Which nutrients would be absorbed if capillaries are added to the large intestine only? (select all that are correct)

• sugars

• amino acids

• water

• fatty acids

Which nutrients would be absorbed if capillaries are added to the large intestine only.

• sugars

• amino acids

• water

• fatty acids

• none

Which nutrients would be absorbed if lymphatic vessels are added to the small intestine only.

• sugars

• amino acids

• water

• fatty acids

• none

Which nutrients would be absorbed if lymphatic vessels are added to the large intestine only.

• sugars

• amino acids

• water

• fatty acids

• None

If a digestive system is created that does not contain the large intestine what conclusions can one make.

• Simple sugars and amino acids would still be absorbed through the capillaries that are attached to the small intestine.

• Most of the water would have been absorbed.

• The stool produced would be be considered "loose"

• Lipids would still be absorbed through the lymph vessels that are attached to the small intestine
