NUTRITION: GETTING FOOD TO CELLS
Objectives: Explain the process of digestion Trace the pathway of food from the mouth to the anus Cite ways on how human should properly take care of their digest system
Recap What is Genetic Engineering? How is genetic engineering connected to GMO’s?
Warm Up Question Who among you here have a regular bowel movement? Does anyone here who always go to the toilet after eating?

Guide Questions: 1. What is metabolism? 2. How does food travel during digestion? 3. How is mechanical digestion different from chemical digestion?
Metabolism – a set of life-sustaining chemical changes that occur within the cells of all organisms
Types of metabolism A.Catabolism B. Anabolism
Catabolism – breaks down large molecules into smaller ones and releases energy in the process
Anabolism – uses energy to build up the chemical components of the cells
Ingestion – the process by which an animal takes in food
Digestion – the process by which ingested food is broken down into simple substances that can be absorbed by the body
Mechanical Digestion- the process wherein the food that has been ingested is physically broken down into smaller pieces
Chemical Digestion – the body process the food in such a way that the nutrients it contains can be absorbed in the small intestines
Cite ways on how to take of our digestive system.
