Digestive System

Question 1

Pancreas

Answer 1

Bicarbonate - neutralizes HCl

Trypsin - converts big proteins into smaller proteins

Pancreatic amylase - Continues breakdown of amylose into maltose

Lipase -breakdown fat into fatty acids and glycerol

Question 2

Liver

Answer 2

Bile - emulsifies fat (physical break fat into smaller pieces)

Question 3

Small intestine

Answer 3

Peptidases - converts small proteins into amino acids

Maltase - breakdown of maltose into glucose

Question 4

Large intestine

Answer 4

Absorbs water, minerals and some vitamins

Question 5

Stomach

Answer 5

Churning in stomach physical

Pepsin - begins digesting proteins

HCl - Lower pH of stomach so pepsin can work, helps breakdown proteins

Mucus - protects stomach from hydrochloric acid

Question 6

Mouth

Answer 6

Physically - breaks down food using teeth

Chemically - saliva glands secrete saliva which contains
- water
-mucus
-amylase - breaks down amylose into maltose

Question 7

Carbohydrates :

Answer 7

Main source of fuel your body uses for energy
(Energy source and structural support.)

Disaccharides
Sucrose
Lactose
(Maybe Maltose)
Polysaccharides
Starch - Energy storage
Cellulose - structural support in plant cells
Glycogen - energy storage

Question 8

Lipids/Fats

Answer 8

Long term energy absorbs fat soluble vitamins
(Long-term energy storage, insulation, and cell membranes.)

Fats, Oils, Waxes
Triglycerides
= glycerol and 3 fatty acid chains
Saturated - straight chain
Unsaturated - bent chain

Question 9

Proteins

Answer 9

Enzymes, structural support, transport, defense, hormones.

Insulin, hemoglobin, collagen, antibodies, enzymes
Made of Amino acids - 20 different amino acids 8 are essential ( cannot be made by body).
