    This document provides instructions and information for students on completing an assignment on absorption. It includes three key parts: 1) An absorption model experiment for students to complete using a model tube to represent the intestine and different food molecules. 2) A Visking tubing experiment to test absorption of starch and glucose through a semipermeable membrane. 3) Details on the structure and functions of the small intestine, including villi and microvilli that increase surface area for absorption, and a thin intestinal wall and good blood supply to aid nutrient uptake into the bloodstream.

    Everyone should complete:
    1-Absorption Model
    2-Visking Tube Experiment
    3-Small Intestine

    Most people will complete:

    1 - Absorption
    The alimentary canal (or gut) is a long
    tube inside the body
    Any food in the alimentary canal is still
    outside the cells of the body
    To get inside the molecules of the food
    have to be able to pass through the wall of
    the alimentary canal

    Now try the Model Absorption kit!
    Think..
    What does the piece of tube in the model represent?

    Why can the food molecules inside the tube still be
    regarded as outside the body?

    Which food molecules in the model were able to pass
    through the wall of the tube most easily? Why was this?

    Why were the protein molecules in the model unable to
    pass through the wall of the tube?

    Now complete the Notes!!!
    Absorption
    The passage of small food molecules
    through the wall of the alimentary canal
    and into vessels that can transport them
    within the body
    2 - Visking Tubing Experiment
    a diagram of the experiment when set up

    what the visking tubing was being used to
    represent

    how you tested for starch and glucose and a
    table of your results

    an explanation of the results in terms of size of
    the food molecules involved

    3 Small Intestine
    Small, soluble food molecules are
    absorbed through the wall of the small
    intestine

    To absorb food molecules efficiently the
    small intestine has three main
    adaptations.
    1. A Large Surface Area
    The small intestine is very long
    -6m long

    The inner surface on the intestine is folded
    -covered with many finger-like projections
    called villi
    -greatly increase the surface area in
    contact with digested food
    Villi
    finger-like folds in the surface of the small
    intestine

    (Singular villus)
    2. Thin Wall
    Each villus has an extremely
    thin wall
    -only one cell thick
    -rapid absorption
    3. Good Blood Supply
    Each villus is supplied with blood vessels
    to receive the absorbed foods
    -glucose/amino acids/vitamins/minerals
    are absorbed into blood capillaries
    -products of fat digestion absorbed into
    lacteal
