ACTIVITY 5: One way to take care of our
digestive system is eating the right kind of
food. Use the table below in creating a meal
plan for a day. The plan should consist of
meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You
can also indicate the quantity per serving.
Mealtime Food Quantity
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
What do you consider
in choosing the kind
of food to eat?
CLUES:
ACROSS
1. The semi-fluid mass of partially digested food and gastric
juices formed in the stomach (5 letters)
5. An enzyme in saliva and pancreas that breaks down
carbohydrates (7 letters)
10. The process by which digested nutrients are taken up
into the bloodstream (10 letters)
11. Involuntary muscle contractions that propel food
through the digestive tract (11 letters)
12. An enzyme that breaks down fats into fatty acids and
glycerol (6 letters)
DOWN
2. Biological molecules that speed up chemical reactions in digestion (7
letters)
3. Small finger-like projections in the small intestine that increase
surface area for absorption (5 letters)
4. Physical breakdown of food by chewing, grinding, and churning (10
letters)
6. Tiny hair-like structures on the surface of villi (9 letters)
7. Digestion process that breaks down food using enzymes (8 letters)
8. An enzyme that breaks down proteins into amino acids (8 letters)
9. A rounded mass of chewed food mixed with saliva, ready to be
swallowed (4 letters)
