3 process food undergo in the body
1. digestion
2. absoption
3. metabolism
what is Digestion & where does it occur
mechanical &chemical breakdown of food so its easily absorbed into blood stream;;;;**occurs in digestive tract*
what is Absorption & where does it occur?
uptake of food or substances from the digestive tract;;;;;**occurs in intestinal tract*
what is Metabolism & where does it occur?
breakdown of food & transformation into energy;;;; occurs in all body cells
where does Digestion begin?
mouth
what is the Submucous layer

uvela
what structure begins the process of chemical digestion of carbs?
salvilary glands
___ breaks down food into simpler substances to be used for energy
catabolism
what is anabolism?
process simple substances are synthesized into the complex materials
what must happen Metabolism can begin
Assimilation
CATABOLISM + ANABOLISM =
Metabolism

describe Glycolysis:
1st step; changes glucouse into pyruvic acid;takes place in cytoplasm of cell; anaerobic process;
what is an 'Anaerobic Process'
uses no oxygen to change
describe Citric Acid Cycle
