test 2 Flashcards
what elements are present in carbohydrate molecule
carbon hydrogen and oxygen
is starch broken down by amylase
yes
is starch or glucose soluble in water
glucose
is glucose or starch a small molecule
glucose
what are some safety precautions
wear goggles , tie hair up, wear gloves
what substance do lipase work best with
bile
is bile alkaline or acid
and what does it do to stomach acid
bile is alkaline so neutralises stomach acid
what does bile do to lipid
it emulsifies it so therefore it has a larger surface area for lipase
3 chemical elements presents in lipids
carbon oxygen hydrogen
what happens to fish in the human gut
it gets digested and then moves into the stomach where hcl is presents to kill the bacteria and provide optimum ph for the protease enzyme it then goes to the small intestines where nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream and bile neutralises the stomic acid
what does bile do
alkaline to neutralise the hydrochloric acid and It breaks down large drops of fat into smaller ones
small intestines for efficient absorption
Microvilli on the surface of the villus further increase surface area for faster absorption of nutrients
Wall of villus is one cell thick meaning that there is only a short distance for absorption to happen by diffusion and active transport
Well supplied with a network of blood capillaries that transport glucose and amino acids away from the small intestine in the blood
Lacteal runs through the centre of the villus to transport fatty acids and glycerol away from the small intestine in the lymph
How is the leaf adapted for photosynthesis?
• palisade cells have many chloroplasts and are tightly packed, as chlorophyll needed (generally called mesophyll tissue)
• xylem delivers water, as it is needed
• lower epidermis has stomata to allow gas exchange, for CO2 and O2
• phloem transports glucose produced, as sucrose, around plant
leafs are thin so gasses only have to travel a short distance
upper epidermis allow light pass through them
have large surface area
balanced equation for photosynesisi
6CO2 + 6H2O > C6H12O6 + 6O2
