Q

Fats are digested in which organ?

A

39
Q

what type of substance is bile?

A

alkali

40
Q

bile is made in which organ?

A

liver

41
Q

The role of bile in digestion is?

A

to neutralise stomach acid

emulsify the fats into droplets

42
Q

Why is it important that the bile is added as the food leaves the stomach?

A

to prevent the acid contents denaturing enzymes in the small intestine

43
Q

What organs in the digestive system does the food NOT pass through?

A

pancreas

liver

gall bladder

44
Q

Where does digestion begin?

A

Mouth

45
Q

How are the small intestines adapted for absorption?

A

Folds called villi increase surface area

villi are thin

villi have an extensive blood supply

46
Q

Where is all the undigested food stored?

A

rectum

47
Q

Where does the undigested food leave the body from?

A

anus

48
Q

What is the glucose absorbed in digestion used for?

A

delivered to our cells and used in respiration

49
Q

What are the amino acids absorbed in digestion used for?

A

to make new proteins

50
Q

Where are new proteins made in a cell?

A

at the ribosomes

51
Q

organ systems work together to form

A

organisms

52
Q

Where is bile stored?

A

gall bladder

53
Q

How are proteins different to amino acids?

A

proteins are large and insoluble

amino acids are small and soluble

54
Q

How is starch different to glucose?

A

starch is large and insoluble

glucose is small and soluble

55
Q

proteases, lipases and amylases are all what type of molecule?

A

enzymes

56
Q

what are enzymes made from?

A

protein

57
Q

What is an enzyme?

A

Protein molecule that acts as a biological catalayst

58
Q

What does an enzyme do in the body?

A

control and speed up the rate of chemical reactions e.g. respiration

59
Q

Enzymes are affected by

A

pH

temperature

60
Q

True or false enzymes are living

A

FALSE

61
Q

You can increase the speed of an enzyme controlled reaction by doing what?

A

raising the temperature

62
Q

If the temperature gets too hot for enzymes, what happens to the reaction its controlling?

A

slows down and eventually will stop

63
Q

If enzymes get too hot what happens to the enzyme?

A

they begin to denature (destroyed)

64
Q

When an enzyme denatures - what does this mean for the enzyme?

A

The bonds holding the enzyme together break and the enzyme begins to unravel

65
Q

What shape are enzymes said to have?

A

globular

66
Q

Are catalysts used up in the reaction?

A

No - left unchanged

67
Q

Name the special site on the enzyme where the reaction takes place

A

active site

68
Q

What is the name of the molecule that binds at the active site?

A

substrate

69
Q

Can any substrate bind any enzyme?

A

No - active sites have a specific shape

70
Q

What makes all enzymes different/unique?

A

They are all folded into a unique shape

Their active site is specific to the enzyme

71
Q

When an enzyme binds to the substrate what is formed?

A

enzyme-substrate complex

72
Q

pH protease enzymes work best in in the stomach?

A

pH1-2

73
Q

Chemical used to detect starch?

A

iodine

74
Q

colour change observed if starch is present?

A

brown to black

75
Q

In an experiment it is important to control certain variables why?

A

To make it a fair test

76
Q

The rate of a reaction is..

A

a measure of how something changes over time

77
Q

Digestion breaks down large insoluble molecules into..

A

small soluble ones (that can be absorbed)

78
Q

Amylase is made in 3 places - name them

A

pancreas

salivary gland

small intestine

79
Q

Protease are made in which organs?

A

pancreas

small intestine

stomach

80
Q

Lipases are made in which organs?

A

pancreas

small intestine

81
Q

name the acid in the stomach

A

hydrochloric acid

82
Q

what does emulsify mean?

A

break down into tinier droplets

83
Q

What chemical is used to test for sugars?

A

Benedicts

84
Q

How do you test for sugar in a sample of food?

A

dissolve in water

add benedicts

heat for 5 minutes in a water bath

observe colour change

85
Q

a sample of food containing a lot of sugar will turn benedicts solution from blue to…

A

red

86
Q

A negative test for sugar using benedicts will ….

A

stay blue (no sugar is present)

87
Q

The chemical used to test for proteins…

A

biuret solution

88

Foods that contain protein include

A

milk, meat, cheese

89
Q

starchy foods include

A

bread rice pasta

90

to test for proteins you …

A

dissolve food sample in water

add equal volume of biuret solution
