diffusion of particles into the body
absorb
enzyme found in saliva that breaks down carbohydrates
amylase
product of digestion of protein
amino acids
chemical that tests for glucose
benedicts solution
what colour does benedicts solution change when in sugar?
red or orange or yellow
where is bile made and stored? (ans, ans)
liver, gallbladder
what blue liquid turns purple in protein?
biuret test
which enzymes break carbohydrates down into glucose?
carbohydrase
a nutrient found in bread and pasta for a balanced diet
carbohydrates
process in which the shape of an enzyme is changed so that it no longer works. heat and pH changes can ________ an enzyme.
denature
the process where food is converted into smaller substances which can be absorbed by the body
digestion
to break a large droplet into lots of smaller ones, usually fats and oils
emulsify
substance in the body that breaks food into smaller substances
enzyme
product of digestion of lipids
fatty acids
nutrient that the body cannot absorb and aids digestion
fibre
fancy word for sugar
glucose
product of the digestion of lipids
glycerol
the entire length of tubing between mouth and anus
gut
acid found in the stomach to kill bacteria
hydrochloric acid
chemical used to test for starch which turns black in starch
iodine
part of the digestive system that absorbs water
large intestine
enzyme that breaks down fat
lipase
part of the digestive system that removes toxins and produces bile
liver
fats
lipids
tiny spikes on the villi to provide a large surface area for absorbing nutrients
microvilli
tube from mouth to stomach
oesophagus
part of the digestive system that produces the most enzymes
pancreas
a wavelike contraction to help move food down the oesophagus
peristalsis
enzyme that breaks down proteins
protease
nutrient needed in a balanced diet found in meat
protein
fluid produced by the mouth filled with amylase to start chemical digestion
saliva
part of the digestive system that absorbs broken down nutrients
small intestine
type of carbohydrate
starch
part of the digestive system that churns food and adds acids and protease to food
stomach
tiny hairlike spikes on the walls of the small intestine to provide a larger surface area for absorbing nutrients
villi
tubing that acts in a similar way to the small intestine, used in experiments modelling digestion
visking tubing
