Science Tuition- Digestion

Science tuition class in Miracle Learning Centre is fun and enriching. You will learn about the different aspects of Science and how to learn study skills too. Let us learn about Digestion in this science tuition lesson.

 

What is Digestion?

 

Digestion is the process by which our body turns food that we eat into nutrients which is used for energy, growth, and cell repair.

 

How Digestion Works

 

It is the breaking down of large insoluble food molecules into smaller, soluble molecules in the body so that they can be absorbed.

 

The Digestive Tract Explained

The digestive tract is a long twisting tube that starts at our mouth and ends at the anus. It is made of many muscles which coordinate the movement of food and other cells that make enzymes and hormones to break down food.

 

Key Organs in Digestion

 

There are three other organs that are needed for digestion – liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

 

The Role of Cell Membranes

 

The cell membrane allows only small soluble molecules to pass through as it is partially permeable. These digested food molecules are absorbed into the cells.

Digestion releases energy stored in the food allowing the body to use it. They are used by the body for growth, repair and respiration.

 

The Human Digestive System

 

The human digestive system consists of the alimentary canal . It is a long tube that starts in the mouth and ends at the anus. This is about 9 metres long. It consists of the

  • mouth,
  • oesophagus,
  • stomach,
  • small intestine,
  • large intestine and anus.

 

Science is a very important subject and it is very essential to learn science with utmost care from the very initial years.

Many professions are based on Science and Science overlaps with a lot of other subjects. There are some really important topics of Science like this above topic of Digestion which can sound complex to understand.

At Miracle Learning Centre at our innovative secondary science tuition, primary science tuition, IP science tuition in Singapore, our best in class faculty team always try to break down the complex topics in to easy to understand lessons to help the students.
