3.0 Define essential nutrients. 3.1 Explain how food moves through the digestive system and identify the role of each organ involved in digestion, including accessory organs. 3.2 Outline how the metabolic processes of catabolism and anabolism allow the body to store and release energy as needed.

In a human, trace the path taken by food containing protein, carbohydrates, and fat, as well as the inhalation of oxygen as food is digested and absorbed into the body, and oxygen and nutrients are delivered to cells for use by the cellular machinery. Then trace the path taken by cellular waste products as they are removed from the body. You answer should discuss the following: Where does mechanical and chemical digestion occur? What is an essential nutrient? Where does chemical digestion of carbohydrates begin and where does it end? Where does chemical digestion of proteins begin and where does it end? Where does chemical digestion of fats begin and where does it end? Where does absorption of each nutrient occur? Trace the pathway taken by glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids, as well as oxygen, through the circulatory system to be delivered to cells throughout the body After the cells use the nutrients, they produce nitrogen waste and CO2. Describe how they are removed from the body

An essential nutrient is specifically a nutrient that your body requires to grow, cannot store, and cannot make by itself. What is chemical digestion? The breakdown of food by enzymes. What are the four stages of food processing, ordered from beginning to end? Ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination. Most of the absorption of nutrients (besides water) takes place in the small intestine. Which of the following statements about digestion is true? Digestion can be both mechanical and chemical, and it occurs both in the mouth and in the stomach. Maintaining a steady-state internal environment, despite a changing external environment, is called homeostasis. Response to a stimulus, such that the effect of the stimulus is counteracted, is called negative feedback.
