List the chemical properties of the same food. Identify the internal organs involved in digestion and write them in the left column below. In the right column, write what each organ does to food. Choose an organ. Imagine that it is not working.
Some species have unique digestive organs, or their organs function in special ways.
The Quest team has encountered some of these critters in China, and you can find many more in your own backyard. Use the Quest Library and other resources to find out about digestion in other species. Sometimes people have food allergies. In the case of allergies to dairy products such as milk, it is because their body is not able to digest a protein in the milk. Research a food allergy and figure out why the human body cannot handle the food.
