Q

Breakdown of foods is catalysed by

A

Enzymes
And in digestive system they are produced by specialised cells in glands and gut lining.
Different enzymes catalyse the breakdown of different food molecules.

Q

Salivary gland

A

Produce amylase enzyme in the saliva

16
Q

Liver

A

Where bile produced.

17
Q

Gall bladder

A

Where bile is stored before being realised to small intestine

18
Q

Large Intestine

A

Where excess water is absorbed from the food

19
Q

Rectum

A

Where the faeces (made up of indigestible food) are stored before they go through your anus

20
Q

Gullet

A

Another name (oesophagus)

21
Q

Small intestine

A

Produces protease amylase and lipase enzymes to complete digestion. This is where the digested food is absorbed out of the digestive system into the blood.

22
Q

Pancreas

A

Produces protease amylase and lipase it release them into the small intestine.

23
Q

Stomach

A

It pummels the food with its muscular walls.
Produces protease enzymes,pepsin.
Produces hydrochlic acid for two reasons,to kill bacteria and give the right ph for the protease to work

24
Q

Respiration

A

The process of realising energy gro, the breakdown of glucose and goes on in every cell in your body.
Happends in plants and all living plants respire,it’s how they release energy from thief food.
Respiration is the process of realising energy firm the glucose which is is every cell

25
Q

Aerobic respiration

A

Need oxygen.most efficient way to realse energy from glucose. Goes on all the time in plants and animals. ,oat reaction in aerobic respiration take happen Inside mitochondria.
Glucose+oxygen->carbon dioxide + water+energy

26
Q

The energy released by aerobic expiration is used for

A

To build up large molecules from smaller ones like(proteins from amino acids)
In animals to allow muscles to contract (which allows them to I’ve about)
In mammals and birds then energy is used to keep their body temperature Steady (unlike other animals and mammals and keep their bodies constant warm.
In plants to build sugars,nitrates and other nutrients into amino acids which are then built up into proteins.
