- Q1Many processes occur in the digestive system. Which process is best classified as a physical change?Digestive enzymes breaking down proteins into smaller fragmentsTeeth grinding an almond into smaller pieces in the mouthBacteria converting lactose into simple sugars in the intestinesSaliva converting the starch molecules in crackers into simple sugars60s7.6
- Q2A student listed how different parts of the body work to aid in the digestion of food. Which of the following is a chemical change that occurs to the food?The reduction in size of food particles as food is chewedNone of the aboveThe breakdown of molecules of food by enzymes and acid in the stomachThe movement of food to the stomach after food is swallowed60s7.6
- Q3Both the esophagus and the small intestine are involved in the digestion of food. The esophagus squeezes food into the stomach by wave-like muscle contractions. Peptidase enzymes in the small intestine break food molecules into smaller molecules. Which statement best describes changes to food during digestion?The muscle contractions and the action of the peptidase both result only in chemical changes.The muscle contractions result in chemical changes, while the action of the peptidase results in physical changes.The muscle contractions and the action of the peptidase both result only in physical changes.The muscle contractions result in physical changes, while the action of the peptidase results in chemical changes.60s7.6
- Q4Researchers are investigating processes that happen during digestion. Which answer choice describes only a physical change during digestion?Enzymes in saliva start the digestion of starches before food is swallowed.Bacteria in the intestines convert dietary fiber into fats.Chewing in the mouth breaks food into small pieces.Hydrochloric acid in the stomach breaks down proteins.60s7.6
