Q

What is digestion?

A

Digestion is the mechanical or chemical breakdown of food which converts large insoluble molecules into small soluble molecules.

Q

What happened when the digestive molecule reach the tissue?

A

When it react the tissue, they are reassembled into molecules that made up our cells.

Q

What are the carbohydrase?

A

amylase which is made by salivary gland convert carbohydrate into maltose in mouth.

amylase which is made by pancreas convert carbohydrate into maltose in small intestine.

maltase which is made by wall of small intestine convert maltose into glucose in small intestine.

75
Q

what are maltose?

A

Disaccharides of glucose

76
Q

What are protease?

A

Bile is digestive juice made by liver and stored in gall bladder and pass down through bile duct onto the food.

85
Q

Does bile contain enzymes?

A

No

86
Q

What are the functions of bile?

A

Dietary fibers

108
Q

Why is the main reason for eating dietary fibers?

A

To avoid constipation

109
Q

Why people with anaemia lack of energy?

A

They have less red blood cells which lead to less oxygen in the blood resulting less respirations meaning less energy is release.
