Q

Gall Bladder

A

Stores Bile

17
Q

Bile duct

A

transports bile to duodenum

18
Q

Pancreas

A

Secretes pancreatic amylase

19
Q

Duodenum

A

mixes chewed food, bile and digestive enzymes

20
Q

Ileum

A

Where nutrients are digested into the blood. Glycerol and fatty acids into the lymph

21
Q

Colon

A

Water is reabsorbed

22
Q

rectum

A

Where faeces is stored

23
Q

Anus

A

Where faeces leave the body

24
Q

Bile

A

emulsifies fats creating a larger surface are for lipase enzymes to catalyse
neutralises PH to make more alkaline in the small intestine

25
Q

Lipase

A

breaks down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol

26
Q

Amalyse

A

Breaks starch into maltose

27
Q

Protease

A

Breaks down protein into amino acids

produced and found in stomach

28
Q

Maltase

A

Breaks down Maltose into glucose

Works in and produced small intestine

29
Q

How the Ileum is designed

A
  • Villi which maximises surface area for quicker diffusion into blood and lymph
  • One cell thick lining for short path of diffusion
  • Capillaries in villi also for short diffusion of glucose into the blood
30
Q

Calorimetry

A
  1. Put cold water into a boiling tube
  2. measure mass of food sample
  3. Put food sample in fire until burns
  4. Heat water with flame from burning food sample
  5. record temperature of water once flame from food sample gone out
31
Q

To keep results constant in caliormetry

A
  • keep flame same distance away from boiling tube each time
  • keep temperature of water at start the same as well
32
Q

Validity of Calorimetry

A

Could be effected by heat loss to surrounding environments

33
Q

where is amylase produced?

A

produced in Salivary glands,pancreas

34
Q

Where does amylase work

A

works in Small intestine and mouth

35
Q

Where is lipase produced?

A

pancreas and small intestine.

36
Q

Where does Lipase work?

A

the mouth and small intestine.
