adapt to their dietary needs.

true 9. Birds have a digestive system that is adapted to

eating unmasticated food.

true 10. No invertebrates can use both intracellular and extracellular

digestion to break down their food

Performance Task
I. How does aging affect the human digestive system? Explain your
answer in not more than five sentences. (10 points)
CRITERIA POINTS

spelling, and punctuation errors.
Answers the question in a clear, cohesive, and coherent way. Minimal grammatical, 8

Very poor grammar mechanics. Does not address the topic. No organization of 2
thoughts.

As we age our digestive system slows down the process oof digesting food.
This cause as a lot of trouble because it will result I more water absorb by
the stomach. By absorbing more water then it can lead to constipation. Im
order to stop this from happening we need to stay hydrated to avoid such
outome.
