Digestion:
Digestion is a big part of our everyday lives. It is a process in which all food molecules are broken down into smaller molecules that are later on transmitted into our cells. It is important and necessary for all organisms to digest because if the large molecules isn't broken down to smaller pieces then the cells won't be able to take in all the nutrients that it needs in order to transmit it throughout our body. Without the nutrients that we need, our bodies won't be able to function probably giving the fact that we don't have any nutrients in our cells. Most organism start the process of digestion through mechanical digestion, meaning that their first step starts of in their mouth. Once the organism starts chewing the food molecules are then broken down to smaller pieces while our salvia is mixing with the food to make it easier for our bodies to absorb the nutrients. Once you have chewed up all the food, its next destination is the throat and from there the food travels into the esophagus. As food goes down the espophagus it goes through a series of contractions, called peristalsis and then the food is delivered to the stomach. Once the food molecules are in the stomach, the gastric acids helps continue the process of breaking down the food. As it leaves the stomach it is now some type of liquid which is now sent to the small intestine.[1] The churned food is now known as chyme and is delivered to the small intestine where enzymes released by the pancreas, and bile from the liver help continue the breaking of the food molecules. In the small intestine there are finger like things that are called villi which help absorb the nutrients. As the cells receive the nutrients another process called cellular respiration occurs. In this process ATP is created as the broken down molecules enter the cell. These molecules are now known as glucose. ATP is used to store and transport chemical energy within the cell and it is also leads to the RNA formation.[2] That is why all organisms must go through the process of digestion in order to the receive the right amount of nutrients and energy that they need.
In general mostly all centipedes obtain there food at night and are very active. One of their favorite types of food is the woodlice. The Stone Centipede like many others is an omnivore. hat uses venom to kill their prey. Their venom is located in their first pair of modified legs (which act as poisonous fangs).[3] Centipedes eat insects, earthworms, spiders, slugs, and other small animals. They have a wide variety of prey. The Stone Centipede uses his antennas to seek out their prey and then they capture it and paralyze it with their venomous claws called maxillipeds. [4] The Stone Centipede's body structure is very complicated. They have a flattened, segmented body, long antennas and many legs. Centipedes have from 15 to about 177 body segments. The centipede's body is divided into two parts, the head and a segmented trunk and they breathe through spiracles, holes in their body. Centipedes are also covered in a hard exoskeleton that protects their soft internal organs.
