3 • Transportation of food

⚫Nutrients are transported to different organs through the circulatory
system.

⚫Some nutrients are used at once and others are stored as sugar and fats.

Example:-

a) Some nutrients are stored as fats.
b) The liver and muscles can store glucose sugar
-They convert it into a special storage substance as an animal starch called
glycogen

- The liver and muscles can then
release the glucose when it is
needed.
