In Human Cells and Digestion students learn about the process of digestion and the role of cells in the process. Students know they get hungry, they eat food, and they use the restroom. What students may not understand is how their bodies engage in those processes. What enables students’ bodies to break that food down to get nutrients and energy? Students may not know that energy, in the form of chemicals that make up food, goes to cells in the body so they can carry out all the functions people need to live. During the process of breaking down food, not all can be used, so it needs to be eliminated as waste. The digestive system is one of the systems in the body that eliminates waste.
