How do are cells get nutrition they need?

1. How did the gelatin in Cup 1 change?  Did its ability to pass through the filter change?
2. Did the enzyme powder cause the change in Cup 1?  What evidence do you have to support your answer?
   
3. What was the one difference between Cups 1 and 2?  Was there a change to the gelatin in cup 2?
   
4. Which material from our lab was a metaphor for the bloodstream?  In which cup did the gelatin’s nutrients reach the “bloodstream”?
5. Based on your experimental findings, why do you think it’s important for the food you eat to be digested?
6. How is food digested in the digestion system?  What type of digestion did the model demonstrate?
   
7. What do you think would happen if you ate lots of food but couldn’t digest it? Would you still be hungry? Would you have lots of energy? Would you perform well in a sports competition?  Explain!

1. It got the ability to go throw because it had tenderizer that brake it up and went throw.
2. Yes, because it is just like the digestive system and is grabs the good stuff and get ride of the bad stuff.
3. The difference was that in cup 1 the jello went threw and cup 2 did not. Their was no change at all.
4. The part that represent the blood stream was the bottom  of the cup and the top of it was the insistence.
5. It is important because if you didn't digest you would not get the nutrition you need. Then your body would fill up and all the food you ate would fill up your body and you would suffocate or you would dround.
6. It is modeled by showing how the good stuff gets pulled throw skin with out any thing else throw the skin.
7. You would puke because it wouldn't go down so it would have to go up.
