3

4

6

Breaks down amino acids
7

Function of lipid
A
Breaks down fatty acids and gycoral
8
Q
Bile
A
Made in the liver Stored in the Gail bladder Alkaline to neutralise hydrochloric Acid from the stomach Emulsifies fat from small droplets
9
Q
Temperature effect on the body
A
Collisions between all molecules increase as temperature increases. This is due to the increase in velocity and kinetic energy that follows temperature increases.
10
Q
Effects of PH on Enzymes
A
Hydrochloric acid gives the stomach a low PH suitable for the protease secreted there to work efficiently
11
Q
Effects of PH on enzymes
A
Alkaline bile neutralises the acid and give a high PH for the enzymes from the pancreas and small intestine to work well
