Worksheet Overview & Skills Covered

Core academic competencies and curriculum alignment

This Biology Science worksheet provides structured practice on 10.102 Digestive Systems and Metabolic Integration. Students are guided through targeted exercises that build foundational understanding, computational accuracy, and critical thinking skills.

Digestive Systems and Metabolic Integration: Students connect mechanical digestion, chemical digestion, enzyme action, absorption, transport of nutrients, and cellular energy needs to whole-organism homeostasis. Rigor range: standard concept checks through honors/Pre-AP/AP-ready integrated physiology, plant systems, health data, and applied decision-making..

Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.102 Digestive Systems and Metabolic Integration skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which summary best represents digestive systems and metabolic integration at the whole-organism level?

ADigestion is separate from homeostasis because food molecules never affect cells after absorption.

BOnly the stomach matters because all nutrients are digested, absorbed, and used for ATP there.

CPlants and animals cannot be compared because plant roots do not need energy.

DOrganisms maintain homeostasis by coordinating digestion, absorption, transport, endocrine feedback, and cellular respiration across many tissues.

Solution & Explanation:The skill is about integration: food or photosynthate is processed, transported, regulated, and metabolized to support cellular work and organism-level balance.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

After gastric bypass surgery, food reaches part of the small intestine more quickly and hormonal signals from the gut may change. Which statement is the most careful biological interpretation?

AThe surgery makes digestion unnecessary because food turns directly into ATP in the stomach.

BAll nutrients must now be absorbed only in the large intestine as intact macromolecules.

CChanges in anatomy can alter nutrient flow, absorption timing, and endocrine signals that help regulate blood glucose.

DGut hormones cannot affect metabolism because only muscles release hormones.

Solution & Explanation:Digestive tract anatomy influences where and when nutrients contact absorptive surfaces and endocrine cells. Altered gut signals can affect metabolic regulation.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A person recovering from a stomach virus can keep down a solution with glucose and salts but not solid food. Which reason best supports using the solution first?

AIt supplies whole proteins that bypass villi and move directly into bile ducts.

BIt supplies absorbable solutes that support water uptake even before full digestion of complex foods resumes.

CIt stops all intestinal transport so the bowel can rest completely.

DIt contains pepsin, which replaces glucose transporters in epithelial cells.

Solution & Explanation:Glucose and electrolytes can be absorbed by intestinal transporters and help water follow osmotically. Solid food requires more digestion and may be harder to tolerate immediately.
