FAQs on From Tasting to Digesting - 1 Class 5 Worksheet EVS Chapter 3

1. What happens to food after we taste it?
Ans. After we taste food, it goes through the process of digestion in our body. This involves breaking down the food into smaller pieces, absorbing the nutrients, and eliminating the waste.
2. How does the sense of taste work?
Ans. The sense of taste works through taste buds on our tongue. These taste buds contain receptors that can detect different flavors such as sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. When we eat, the food molecules interact with these receptors, sending signals to our brain, which then interprets the taste.
3. What are the different taste sensations?
Ans. The different taste sensations are sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Sweet tastes are usually associated with sugars, sour tastes with acids, salty tastes with salts, bitter tastes with toxins, and umami tastes with savory or meaty flavors.
4. How does the digestive system break down food?
Ans. The digestive system breaks down food through a series of processes. First, the food is broken down mechanically through chewing and mixing with saliva. Then, it travels through the esophagus to the stomach, where it is further broken down by stomach acids and enzymes. Finally, it enters the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed, and waste is eliminated.
5. What is the role of enzymes in digestion?
Ans. Enzymes play a crucial role in digestion. They are proteins that help break down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body. For example, amylase breaks down carbohydrates, lipase breaks down fats, and protease breaks down proteins. Without enzymes, the process of digestion would be much slower and less efficient.
