chapter3 biological molecules
why do we need food
nutreints in food provide us with energy and materails needed by our body
chapter3 biological molecules
3 major types of nutrients
carbohydrates, fats, proteins
chapter3 biological molecules
carbohydrates function
provide energy for cell activities and immediate source of energy
chapter3 biological molecules
carbohydrates made up of
organic molecules made up of carbon hydrogen oxygen,
hydrogen atom:oxygen atom
2 : 1

long chains/ polymers of simple sugars
chapter3 biological molecules
function of starch and found in where
-storage of carbohydrates in plants
-found in storage organs in plants
chapter3 biological molecules
glycogen
-storage of carboyhydrates in mammals
-digested to form glucose
chapter3 biological molecules
cellulose
-found in cell wall
- dietry fiber, prevent constipation
chapter3 biological molecules
what are proteins (amino acids)made up of
made up of hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon
chapter3 biological molecules
proteins function
- synthesis new cytoplansm, growth repair of worn-out body cells
- source of energy during extreme starvation, when carbohydrates and fats are depleted
chapter3 biological molecules
what are fats made up of
carbon hyrdrogen oxygen
chapter3 biological molecules
fats functions
-long term storage of energy
-insulating material (prevent excessive heat loss)
chapter3 biological molecules
describe iodine test
- add a few drops of iodine in potassium iodine solution to a food sample
- record your observations
chapter3 biological molecules
iodine turns from brown to blue-black
starch is present
chapter3 biological molecules
iodine solution remains brown
starch is absent
chapter3 biological molecules
describe benedict’s test
- add 2cm^3 of food sample and benedicts solution
- shake mixture and place test tube in boiling water bath
- record colour of solution after 2-3 mins
chapter3 biological molecules
solution(food sample+benedicts solution) remains blue

chapter 4 enzymes
what are enzymes
proteins
chapter 4 enzymes
function of enzymes
-function as a biological catalyst
-speed up the rate of chemical reactions
-remain chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction
chapter 4 enzymes
what is activation energy
the amount of energy needed to start a reaction
chapter 4 enzymes
what is a catalyst for
it procides an alternatice pathway for reaction with lower activation energy
chapter 4 enzymes
what are enzymes required to do
- break large molecules into simpler smaller substances so they are soluble in water
-small enough to diffuse through cell membranes
