Q

What happens if the enzymes gets too hot

A

The enzymes denature meaning the bond holding the enzyme together breaks causing the enzymes special shape to be destroyed meaning it cannot work anymore

Q

What happens if the ph is too high

A

It also affects the bonds in the enzymes this changes the shape and denatures the enzyme.

16
Q

Where is bile produced

17
Q

Where is bile stored before it’s released into small intestines

A

Gall bladder

18
Q

What condition do the enzymes work best at in the small intestines

A

Alkaline conditions

19
Q

What is respiration

A

The release of energy from the breakdown of glucose

20
Q

Does respiration go on in every cell

21
Q

What is aerobic respiration

A

Respiration using oxygen

22
Q

Does aerobic respiration go on in plays and animals

A

Yes all the time

23
Q

Where does most aerobic respiration happen

A

Mitochondria

24
What is the equation for respiration
Oxygen + glucose = carbon dioxide + water + energy
25
What is the energy from respiration used for 4 points
- to build up larger molecules from smaller ones - in animals to allow muscles to contract - in mammals and birds the energy is used to keep their body temperature steady - in plants to build sugars, nitrates and other nutrients into amino acid s, amino acids are then built up into protein
26
What does exercise do
Increases the heart rate
27
What d your muscles use to release energy and what is done with this energy
Used to release oxygen and the energy is used to contract your muscles
28
What happens when you excrcise
Need more oxygen and glucose Extra carbon dioxide needs to be removed For these things to happen the blood must flow faster
29
What do your muscles store glucose as
Glycogen
30
What happens when you excercise hard
Muscles use glucose quickly
31
What is anaerobic respiration
Respiration without oxygen
