25
what colour does iodine turn on presence of starch
blue black
26
what chemical is used to test for lipids
ethanol
27
what chemical is used to test for proteins
biurets solution
28
what colour does biurets turn in protein
purple
29
what happens when a protein denatures
temperature is too high and shape changes so cant carry out job
30
jobs of proteins
acts as ; enzymes antibodies hormones
31
what is a catalyst
speeds up a reaction without being affected
32
what is an enzyme
a biological catalyst
33
how do enzymes work lock and key theory
the active site of an enzyme binds to the substrate
34
what is a persons metabolism
the speed of reaction in the body
35
what is an enzymes activity affected by
temperature and pH
36
what happens to an enzyme when the temperature is too high
denatures
37
what is different about the digestive enzymes
work outside cells
38
what enzyme breaks down carbohydrates
amylase
39
where is amylase found
salivary glands pancreas small intestine
40
what enzyme catalysts breakdown of proteins
protease
41
what enzyme catalysts breakdown of fats
lipase
42
where is lipase found
pancreas and small intestine
43
what does digestion involve
breakdown of large insoluble molecules into soluble substances
44
what is bile used for
turns acidic mixture in stomach into alkaline for small intestine
45
what are the functions of bile
change ph | breakdown emulsify fats
46
why is bile key in digestion of fats
emulsifies so there is a larger sa for lipase enzyme to act upon
47
where is bile stored
gall bladder
48
what is produced when carbohydrates are broken down
sugars
49
what is produced when lipids are broken down
glycerol and fatty acids
50
what is produced when proteins are broken down
amino acids
51
what is an enzyme made from
protein
52
why do enzymes only catalyse one sort of reaction
they have a specific active site
53
what are three jobs that enzymes do to control metabolism
build large molecules from small ones eg making starch from glucose changing one molecule into another
54
optimum temperature for catalysts
37 degrees (human body~#0
55
where is bile made
liver
56
what are proteins used for in the body
building up cells and tissues of body | act as basis of all enzymes
57
function of salivary glands
produce amylase in salavia
58
function of gall bladder
store bile to release into small intestine
59
function of rectum
where faeces are stored before exrection
60
where are enzymes produced
glands
61
what enzymes catalyses breakdown of hydrogen peroxide
catalase
62
what is a solution of amino acids colourless
there are soluble
