Question

You have a bag of hot Cheetos lunch. List at least three organ systems you will need t use to eat the Cheetos, break them down for nutrients, and get rid of the leftovers as waste Explain why you need each body system to complete the task.

Answer 1

Muscular system, gastrointestinal system and excretory system are required for the process.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cheetos is a nutrient rich diet which is actually a snack. Its a hard food, so needs to be chewed which uses the muscular system for chewing. The muscles of jaw like masseter and temporalis are required.

Now as the Cheetos are crunched, they need to be digested into finer particles and finally into the absorbable particles. This uses the gastrointestinal system. The enzymes digest the food and the villi of small intestine helps in the absorption.

The absorbed food are metabolized in liver and some excretory products are produced. They are excreted using the excretory system.
