Summary Introduction

To determine:

The function of digestive system.

Introduction:

Digestive system is responsible for ingesting and digesting the food, absorbing the nutrients and eliminating the waste. The main organs of digestive system are mouth, tongue, salivary gland, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, rectum, pancreas, liver, gallbladder and anus

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Digestive system involves the process of food breakdown with the help of digestive organ, so the nutrients present in food can be absorbed by the cells in body. The functions of digestive system are as follows;

Ingestion:

it occurs when the foods and liquids enter in the digestive tract via mouth.

Mechanical processing:

it involves crushing of food with tongue, tearing and crushing with the teeth. Grinding, churning and crushing and propulsive moments provides by the alimentary canal aids the mechanical processing after ingestion.

Digestion:

it is chemical and enzymatic breakdown of food into carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Small organic molecules are absorbed by the digestive epithelium of stomach and intestines.

Excretion:

it involves removal of indigested waste product after digestion

Conclusion

Digestive system helps in food break down into small molecule like carbohydrate, fat and protein that provide nutrition to each cell in the body and undigested waste material is excrete out from the body.

For each of the following problems calculate the following: (Week 6-3 Video with 6-1 and 6-2) Consult the total catabolic pathways on the last page as a reference for the following questions. A. How much NADH and FADH2 is produced and fed into the electron transport chain (If any)? B. How much ATP is made from oxidative phosphorylation (OP), if any? Feed the NADH and FADH2 into the electron transport chain: 3ATP/NADH, 2ATP/FADH2 C. How much ATP is made by substrate level phosphorylation (SLP)? D. How much total ATP is made? Add the SLP and OP together. 1. Aerobic respiration using 0.5 mole of glucose? NADH FADH2 OP ATP SLP ATP Total ATP Show your work using dimensional analysis here:
Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. 18 carbons fatty acids 12 carbons glycerol . Glycerol is broken down to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a glycolysis intermediate via the following pathway shown in the figure below. Notice this process costs one ATP but generates one FADH2. Continue generating ATP with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate using the standard pathway and aerobic respiration. glycerol glycerol-3- phosphate…
