Q

what are the use of portiens (4 points)

A
  1. to grow
  2. to repair damaged tissue
  3. can be used for energy (emergency, only if no lipids/carbs)
  4. break down food

Q

purpose of lipids? (5 points)

A
  1. provide energy ( a longer store of energy),
  2. keeps us warm by insulating
  3. protects our organs
  4. helps develop hormones
  5. form cell membranes
17
Q

rule for lipid molecule?

A

3 molecules of fatty acids (organic acids) + 1 molecule of gylcerol

18
Q

what are fatty acids know as

A

organic acids

19
Q

what happens to lipid molecules during digestion

A

break down into 2 parts:

  1. chain of 3 glycerols (vertical)
  2. 3 seperate chains of fatty acids (horizontol)
20
Q

what is the food test for starch

A

iodine solution (SIS)

21
Q

food test for glucose

A

benedicts solution (BeG)

22
Q

what is food test for protien

A

biuret reagent (BiP)

23
Q

what is food test for fats

A

ethanol emulsion (Fe)

24
Q

positive and negative reaction for startch?

A

+ blue/black
- –> yellow/brown

25
Q

+ and - colour results for glucose>

A

+ –> red
(some) –> orange
(small) –> yellow/green
- –> blue

26
Q

+ and - colour results for proteins

A

+ purple (deep)
- blue

27
Q

+ and - colour results for fats

A

+ –> white/cloudy layer
- –> clear

28
Q

most accurate food test ?

A

glsuocse b/c range of colours depending concentraton fo glucose

29
Q

summary of steps for SIS

A

food on white tile, iodine solution added, observe

30
Q

summary of steps for BeG

A

glucose –> tt, distilled water added, shake to dissolve glucose, Be added, tt–> waterbath & boil, bserve (OWNT WORK FOR SUCROSE –> not a reducing sugar)

31
Q

summary fo steps for FE

A

fat –> tt, ethanol added, shaken to dissolve oil, solution poaured into tt w cold water, observe percipiate/ emulsion.

33
Q

summary of steps for BeG

A

protein –> tt, distilled water added, shaken, birets added, obserbe
