Q

Digestive system s function

A

Breaks down larger molecules to smaller molecules.

21
Q

What 3 things enzymes do

A

Break substances down e.g digestion
Builds things up e.g amino acids
turn one substance directly to another

22
Q

Mouth

A

Both mechanical and chemical digestion
Mechanical- teeth
Chemical- contains saliva, which contains amylase

23
Q

Esophagus

A

The tube connecting to mouth to the stomach

24
Q

Stomach

A

Contains muscle tissues- churns food
Has a high quantity of hydrochloric acid
Hydrochloric acid kills bacteria and gives the right PH for some enzymes
The stomach has a lining of mucus which prevents HCL from damaging the stomach lining

25
Large intestine
Absorbs excess water | where undigested food reaches
26
Small intestine
Absorbs nutrients via the villi Villi- Large surface area to maximize absorption Thin walls mean short diffusion pathways The network of capillaries maintains the concentration of gradient
27
Rectum
Stores feces
28
Anus
Ring of muscle that allows faeces to leave the body( sphincter muscle)
29
Pancreas
Makes digestive enzymes
30
Protease
Breaks down proteins into amino acids
31
Lipase
Breaks down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol
32
Carbohydrate/ amylase
Breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars( glycerol)
33
What does the liver make?
Makes bile
34
Gall bladder
Stores bile
35
Bile
Green/ yellow alkali solution Function: emulsifies( breaks down) fats into tiny drops. Increase surface area Neutralizes stomach acid Gives the right PH for enzymes
36
pepsin is made by the ... and it...
Stomach | Breaks down proteins into smaller peptides
37
Peristalsis
movement of food in the gut
38
Bolus
Food mixed with saliva
39
Where is protease made
stomach, pancreas, small intestine
40
Where is Lipase made
Pancreas, small intestine
41
Where is Amylase made
Salivary glands, pancreas
42
Where does protease work?
stomach, small intestine
43
Where does lipase work?
intestine
44
Where does amylase work?
Mouth, small intestine
45
What is an enzyme?
Enzymes are biological catalysts They increase the rate of reactions each enzyme has different shapes and work at different conditions Within the shape is indentation known as the active site Only a type of substrate fits into the shape of the substrate molecules. If the shape of the enzyme changes, its active sites may no longer work. We say enzymes have been denatured.
46
Pathogen
Anything that causes disease
47
Enzymes denature when:
Proteins bond break Active site changes shape The substrate can t fit Reaction not catalysed
48
What denatures an enzyme?
PH | tempreature
49
What affects rate of reactions?
``` Temperature Concentration of reactants PH Surface area Pressure ```
