Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Conversion of Food Into Matter and Energy. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

In chemical digestion, food molecules are broken down and rearranged to form new molecules.

Obtaining and processing nutrients for growth is a life function of a cell.

In chemical digestion, chemical enzymes break down food into smaller nutrients that the body can absorb.

The digestive system helps the body break down food, absorb nutrients, and remove wastes from the body.

Nutrients in food provide energy for cells in the body.

Living matter is primarily composed of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.

Obtaining and processing nutrients for growth is a life function of an organism.

Mechanical digestion is the physical breakdown of food that occurs mostly in the mouth and stomach.

In a human body, the digestive and excretory systems work together to absorb nutrients and remove wastes from the body.

During digestion, chemical energy is transformed into thermal energy.

Carbohydrates are key nutrients that break down into simple sugars during digestion.

Proteins are key nutrients that break down into amino acids during digestion.

Lipids are key nutrients that can be stored in the body as future sources of energy.

Chemical reactions can transform energy within living organisms.

The organs in a body form the organ systems in a living organism.

Organ systems work together to carry out the life functions of an organism.
