Question

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 (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. The essay should be 1 to 1.5 pages, typed (using 12 pt. font), double-spaced. Your story should have the following elements: Describe how food travels through the digestive system. Include 3-4 different foods. Explain what occurs at each organ of digestion. Be written in the first-person point of view (This means you pretend that you are the food, so use I and me to refer to yourself). Include these key words and phrases: stomach, digestion, small intestine, large intestine, mouth, anus, and complete digestive system.

Answer 1

Hi. I'm a piece of food what type of person am I I'm a slice of pizza! I am made of bread, gravy, and cheese. Children love me! If you eat something, you have to go somewhere else. It is chewed in the mouth, swallowed, and passed through the throat into the stomach. But how do you digest it? The stomach contains an acid called gastric acid or gastric acid. When you eat, food enters your stomach and the acid begins to break it up into smaller pieces. It's called digestion. The same thing happens when you drink liquids, but it takes a little longer and you may feel bubbles in your stomach, especially if you've had carbonated drinks. Soups also enter the digestive system smoothly. Solid foods take time to break down into smaller pieces so that they can be converted into energy and waste. If you're a bread like me, bread takes longer to break down than other foods, so your stomach takes longer to digest you. It becomes semi-solid when mixed with water. The stomach is designed to digest what you eat into pulp that your body can use as energy.

Answer 2

This is how i would most likely start off

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.
