DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Jaida, Rinayah, Nathan, Jasmine, and Maliyah are having a picnic. They are curious about how their bodies will use the food they eat. Which of the following best describes the digestive system that will process their picnic food?

• A system to take out the bad stuff that's in their bodies

• A system where a certain group of organs work together to convert food into energy to feed their bodies

• A system where certain organs in their bodies digest the food they eat

• A system that the organs in their stomachs make food for their bodies to digest.

During a biology class experiment, Nathan was asked to explain the role of salivary glands in the digestive system. What should be his response?

• They produce saliva, which keeps the mouth and other parts of the digestive system moist.

• They produce ptyalin to make saliva for the mouth, so the system can start.

Maliyah and Nathan are learning about the human body in their biology class. Their teacher, Ms. Jaida, asked them to identify the two most important organs of the digestive system. Can you help them?

• Small intestines

• Esophagus

• Large intestines

• Pharynx

During a biology class, Nathan was asked to explain what the small intestine does in the process of digestion. He said:

• It reabsorbs the water after the process of the system.

• It absorbs most of the nutrients and minerals from the food that Jasmine had for lunch.

• It keeps the stomach in balance for when the system starts.

• It absorbs most of the food that's left from the lunch that Maliyah had.

During a biology class, Dante was asked to identify the esophagus in a diagram. Which option did Dante choose?

• A

• B

• C

• D

• E

During a biology class, Nathan and Rinayah were discussing the human digestive system. Nathan said that the large intestine's primary function is to digest the food. Rinayah disagreed and said it has a different function. What does the large intestine actually do?

• Nathan is correct, it digests the food from this process

• It makes a pathway for the food

• Rinayah is correct, it reabsorbs a lot of the water from this process

• It absorbs the food from this process

Jasmine and Dante are studying the human digestive system for their biology project. They have a diagram of the digestive system and are trying to identify the small and large intestine. Can you help them?

• A~ small intestine

  E~ large intestine

• D~ small intestine

  E~ large intestine

• C~ large intestine

  B~ small intestine

• A~ large intestine

  C~ small intestine

• E~ small intestine

  D~ large intestine

During a biology class, Rinayah and Dante were discussing about the process by which nutrient molecules pass from the food they eat, through the wall of their digestive system, into their blood. What is this process called?

• absorption

• digestion

• peristalsis

• villi

During a biology class, Dante and Nathan were discussing about the human digestive system. They referred to the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder as...

• accessory organs

• the digestive tract

• acid makers

• digestion helpers
