Which statement best summarizes the steps are involved before sugar is able to enter the bloodstream?
(a) food is mechanically and chemically broken down until it becomes oxygen in the blood stream until we chemically break oxygen away from it to get energy we can use
(b) we mechanically break down food until it turns into sugar and enters the bloodstream and can be broken down for energy we can use
(c) food and oxygen are broken down by the digestive system and they’re chemically combined to make sugar, which we can use as energy
(d) food is mechanically and chemically broken down until nutrients enter the bloodstream and can be combined with oxygen to create energy we can use
One food calorie = 1 X 103 calories = 1 kcal. A typical adult ingests about 2200 food calories per day. (A) show that an adult uses energy at about the same rate as a 100-W light bulb. {B) Calculate the total annual metabolic energy expenditure of the 6 X 109 people on the earth and compare it with the 4 X 1020 J per year energy used by the world economy. Assume all persons consume 2200 food calories per day, which is obviously incorrect.

- Lesson 8: The Role of Enzymes Focus on Inquiry Scientists often make inferences. Recall that an inference is based on observations and previous knowledge. An inference is not data, but it should be consistent with the data. Recall that pH can affect the function of enzymes. A scientist was studying the digestive system of alligators. Alligators have very acidic stomachs, but their intestines are closer to neutral. The scientist identified two important enzymes in the digestive tract of alligators W-protease and T-protease. She conducted an investigation into how a change in pH affected the activity of each enzyme. At the conclusion of the investigation, she presented her findings in the line graph shown.... Digestive Enzyme Activity Tan-protease --- Wx-protease 4 6 10 12 pH Based on these data and your knowledge of enzymes, what inferences can you draw about which enzyme is most likely to be active in the alligator intestine and which is most likely to be active in the stomach?
