By the end of the unit you need to be able to show understanding of:
The life processes related to food consumption & metabolism in mammals
Structural components involved with the life processes (what body parts does each life process involve?)
The functioning of the structural components (how do they do their job?)
The overall function of the life processes (what's the point of them?)
- processing food (physical and chemical digestion, absorption, assimilation, egestion)
- transport of products of digestion within the body (circulation)
- use of food at the cell level (respiration).
