1.2 Digestion Flashcards
Maltose
Maltase, glucose
Starch
Amylase, maltose
Proteins
Protease, amino acids
Lipids
Lipase, fatty acids and glycerol
Sucrose
Sucrase, glucose and fructose
Lactose
Lactase, glucose and galactose
Physical digestion
Teeth and stomach, to increase surface area of food for faster enzyme digestion
Chemical digestion
Large molecules becoming smaller and soluble by hydrolysis
Pancreatic juice enzymes secreted into small intestine
Lipase amylase protease
Glucose formula
C6H12O6
Benedict’s test
Equal amount of Benedict’s and sample, heat in water bath, orange/brown means reducing sugar present
Glycosidic bond
Condensation reaction to join monosaccharides
Non reducing sugar test
Add HCl, heat, add sodium hydrogencarbonate, test with pH paper to make sure it’s alkaline, Benedict’s test
Starch test
Add iodine, blue/black means starch present
Peptide bonds
Condensation reaction to join together amino acids
