The digestive system of most birds include a strucure called the gizzard. The gizzard crushes and grinds food, often with the help of smaller stones that the bird has swallowed.

esophagus

large intestine

small intestine

teeth

Jorge is studying the digestive system. He found research indicating that more bacteria live in the large intestine that there are cells in the human body.
Based upon this research, which of these can Jorge logically conclude?

Bacteria are necessary for digestion to occur.

Bacteria are produced by the human body.

The large intestine is made of bacteria.

The large intestine is diseased.

Scientists are researching the effects of a drug used to treat acid reflux on digestion of food in the stomach. Pepsin is an enzyme found in the stomach that is active in digesting proteins.
If the drug being researched dramatically decreases the acidity in the stomach, which of the following is expected to occur?

Pepsin will be less active, causing a decrease in the digestion of proteins in the stomach.

Production of pepsin will increase, resulting in more proteins being digested in the stomach.

The higher pH will stimulate pepsin activity and decreased the amount

The lower pH will cause the denaturing of pepsin and result in digestion of fewer proteins in the stomach.

The structure of the digestive tube in the grasshopper and earthworm consists of many folds. The folds affect the efficiency of food absorption by which of the following functions?

increasing surface area

reducing transpiration

increasing hormone secretion

reducing storage of sugars
