Week 3 CheckPoint Fiber Research Week 3 CheckPoint Fiber Research Phoenix University SCI 241 The role that fiber plays in a human body, is that it’s the main function in the body is to regulate a person’s digestion. Some examples of food sources for fiber can be found in bread, pasta, flax and seed. Researches have also found out that most yogurts now have a fiber additive, so most yogurts can be added to good food sources for fiber. The difference between soluble and insoluble fiber

and taking in oxygen, for making new cells for growth and repair, to transmit nerve impulses so we can respond to changes within the environment, and to also build complex molecules like enzymes and hormones from simple molecules made after the digestion of food. Moreover, Catabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules within living organisms to form simpler ones; this is done with the release of energy and destructive metabolism. And anabolism is the synthesis of complex molecules within living

RESEARCH PLAN Rationale The population of the country increases as time goes by. With this, environmental and economic problems are encountered by the people. Since some of the parts of the plants that are consumed are not being used, it will just add to the waste in the environment. Cloth is one of the basic needs we need in order to live. It is usually made from animal skins, fibrous plants and polyesters. Fabrics for cloth are mostly made from cotton. But nowadays, cottons are starting to be limited

Major body systems Cardio-vascular The cardiovascular system, also called the circulatory system, pumps blood around the body. The right side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the blood, it then returns to the heart where it is pumped around the body. It also allows nutrients, hormones, oxygen and carbon dioxide to be transported around the body. Heart: The heart is made up of three layers: * Pericardium – the outer layer of the heart made of

Esophagus The Digestive Pathway Mechanical Digestion begins in the mouth from the moment that a food bolus enters the oral cavity. Mastication, the mechanical breakdown of the food bolus by chewing occurs here. Chemical Digestion begins when the Salivary Glands (Parotid, Sublingual and Submandibular Glands) release saliva into the oral cavity. Saliva contains amylase, an enzyme that

Using a flowchart, identify and explain the physical processes in digestion and where they take place and their importance. Word Count: 265 Food enters the stomach via the cardiac sphincter; its role is to prevent splashing back of food into the oesophagus. The role of the stomach is to churn and emulsify the food. (enchantedlearning.com)The fundus portion of the stomach collects gasses from the whole process whilst the pyloric sphincter controls the amount of food that is passed through into

trypsm, amylase, and lipase are the digestive enzymes which break down proteins, starches, and fats and are carried to the duodenum from the stomach. The liver manufactures and secretes Bile, which is a fluid released into the duodenum that aids in digestion of fat. (n.d.).
