HELPPP!!1 In this assignment, you will write a story about how different foods travel through the digestive and excretory system
from the mouth to the anus. Pretend that you are a food, such as pizza, traveling through the digestive system. Explain what happens to you (the food) in the digestive tract from the time you are placed in the mouth until you exit the body. What do you see along the way? What happens to you at each part of the journey? Make your story creative and fun.
Hi there. I’m a piece of food. What kind am I? I’m a piece of pizza! I’m made of bread, sauce and cheese. Kids love me! When you eat any kind of food it has to go somewhere. You chew it in your mouth, you swallow it, it goes down your throat, and into your stomach. But how do you digest it? In the stomach there is an acid called gastric acid or stomach acid. When you eat, the food goes down into the stomach and the acid begins break the food into small pieces. This is called digestion. When you drink a liquid it does the same but it takes a tad bit longer and you might feel bubbles in your stomach especially if you’ve had a carbonated drink. Soup will also travel smoothly into the digestive system. Solid foods take time to be broken down into small pieces so it can be made into energy and waste. So if you were a piece of bread like me it would take a while for the stomach to digest you because bread takes longer to be broken down than other foods. The reason bread takes longer to be broken down is because flour becomes a half solid form when it is mixed with water. Your stomach is made to digest the foods you eat into pulps that the body can use for energy.
There’s not really a definite answer- but the most lethal drops occur from 20-50 feet, yet there have been cases of phonomena in which someone can survive a fall from a plane.
The leaking underground storage tanks have been found as a threat to the groundwater. The gas stations, industries and other entities use underground storage tanks to hold toxic materials like oil, gasoline underground to prevent their exposure to the air as these are flammable and volatile. Other dangerous substances include heavy metals, toluene and benzene. The leakage of these materials can contaminate the groundwater supplies.
