    Food and Nutrition: Surface Area

    Uploaded by

    sania
    Food and Nutrition discusses surface area and how it relates to digestion. Increasing the surface area of food allows enzymes to more easily break down the food. This is because a larger surface area provides more room for enzymes to access the food. A higher surface area to volume ratio in the small intestines also allows for faster absorption of nutrients. Calculating surface area is important for determining rates of processes like emptying or absorption that depend on surface exposure.

    If food is given more surface area, there is more room
    for the enzymes to get to work and break down the
    food – teeth are important for grinding the food.

    Small intestines – larger the surface area , faster
