Q

The liver is another organ associated with digestion, it produces bile, which aids digestion in two ways, Name and describe these two ways.

A

1) Bile emulsifies lipids for enzymes to be able to break them down more easily.
2) Bile creates an optimal pH for the function of lipase enzymes allowing them to work at a faster rate.

Q

Proteins are vital to the body and form structural components like muscle tissue and form enzymes. Give two other components that proteins make up.

A

Hormones and Antibodies.

17
Q

What do biological catalysts do?

A

Speed up biological reactions.

18
Q

The folds of amino acid chains in enzymes result in a specific ______ ______ that can fit with a specific _______ molecule. Finish the sentence with appropriate terminology.

A

Active site, Substrate.

19
Q

Give the name of the method that enzymes use to bind with and break down the substrate.

A

Lock and Key method. The active site binds with the substrate in a specific way like a lock and a key, which cannot be replicated.

20
Q

What bodily function do enzymes control?

A

The metabolism.

21
Q

Give two examples of how enzymes catalyse reactions.

A

Any two from: Building large molecules from small ones, e.g. building starch from glucose; Changing one molecule to another like changing glucose into fructose; Breaking down molecules into smaller ones, like making proteins into amino acids to be used by the body.

22
Q

Enzyme reactions take place at low temperatures but the higher the temperature the _______ the rate of reaction until the enzyme becomes ________ due to the temperature becoming too high. Finish the sentence with correct wording.

A

Faster, denatured.

23
Q

An enzyme is said to be denatured when?

A

When the active site is no longer able to bind with the substrate as it has been deformed, making it unable to carry out normal reactions.

24
Q

What temperature range is said to be between?

A

35 and 40 degrees Celsius.

25
Q

A change in pH from its optimum can affect what about an enzyme?

A

The forces that keep amino acids bonded to each other.

26
Q

What is the name given to enzymes that digest carbohydrates?

A

Carbohydrases.

27
Q

Which carbohydrase breaks down starch?

A

Amylase.

28
Q

In what two areas are amylase enzymes produced?

A

The pancreas and salivary gland.

29
Q

What is the name given to enzymes that break down proteins?

A

Proteases.

30
Q

What does pepsin break protein down into?

A

Amino acids.

31
Q

Where are proteases produced? Give all three locations.

A

The stomach, the small intestine and the pancreas.

32
Q

What is the name given to enzymes that break down lipids?

A

Lipases.

33
Q

What do lipids break down into when broken down by enzymes?

A

Fatty acids and glycerol.

34
Q

Once broken down by enzyme reactions, where are fatty acids, glycerol, amino acids and glucose absorbed into the blood stream?

A

The ileum in the small intestine.

35
Q

How does the emulsification of lipids from bile help break down lipids?

A

The smaller droplets created by the emulsification lead to a larger surface area for lipase enzymes to act upon and break down these molecules faster.

36
Q

What food test can be used to test for sugars?

A

Using Benedict’s solution, you turn the substance brick red if sugar is present.

37
Q

What food test can be used to test for starch?

A

Using iodine solution where the food becomes blue/black if starch is present.

38
Q

What food test can be used to test for protein or in other words amino acids?

A

Using biuret solution, this turns the food lilac or purple.

39
Q

What food test can be used to test for lipids?

A

Using ethanol this turns the food cloudy white.
