Q

What does the enzyme carbohydrase break carbohydrates down into?

A

Simple sugars

30
Q

What is the function of the liver?

A

To produce bile to help digest fats

31
Q

What is the function of the gall bladder?

A

To store the bile produced by the liver

32
Q

Which enzymes are released into the stomach?

A

Protease

33
Q

What is a negative Benedict’s test result?

A

Blue

34
Q

What is the colour of Iodine solution?

38
Q

What substance does Iodine Test test for?

A

Starch

39
Q

What reagent should you use to test for starch in food?

A

Iodine Test

40
Q

What are proteins broken down into?

A

Amino acids

41
Q

What is peristalsis?

A

It is a muscle contracting to move food through the digestive system. It ignores gravity, so you can eat upside down fine.

42
Q

What is the function of the oesophagus?

A

For food to travel down the tube to the stomach, by peristalsis

43
Q

What reagent should you use to test for sugar in food?

A

Benedict’s Test

44
Q

What does the enzyme lipase break down?

A

Lipids

45
Q

What is the function of the pancreas?

A

To make and release digestive enzymes to break down food

46
Q

What is the induced fit model for enzymes?

A

When substrate binds to the complementary active site of a specific enzyme, the active site and substrate slightly change shape to fit more perfectly together. This makes it easier for the substrate to be broken down into products

47
Q

How do enzymes behave at a high temperature?

A

Enzymes are denatured. Their active site changes shape so substrates can no longer bind to it. No reaction is carried out.

48
Q

How do enzymes behave at a low pH?

A

Enzymes are denatured. Their active site changes shape so substrates can no longer bind to it. No reaction is carried out.

49
Q

What is the function of the large intestine?

A

To reabsorb water into the body leaving a solid waste

50
Q

How do enzymes behave at a low temperature?

A

They are inactive. These is not enough energy for enzymes and substrates to collide. Reaction happens at a low rate.

51
Q

What is the colour of Benedict’s solution?

A

Blue

52
Q

What is the function of the stomach?

A

To churn food and add digestive enzymes and acids

53
Q

What reagent should you use to test for proteins in food?

A

Biuret Test

54
Q

What enzyme breaks lipids down?

A

Lipase

55
Q

.What is the lock and key model for enzymes?

A

Substrate (key) binds to the complementary active site of a specific enzyme (lock) to form an enzyme-substrate complex. Substrate is broken down into products and products release from enzyme. Enzyme remains unchanged and can be used again

56
Q

How does an enzyme break down a substance?

A

A substrate binds to an enzyme forming an enzyme-substrate complex. The substrate is broken down into two products, whicha re the released from the enzyme. The enzyme can be used again to break down another substrate.

57
Q

What enzyme breaks starch down?

A

Amylase

58
Q

What is the colour of Ethanol solution?

A

Colourless

59
Q

How do enzymes behave at a high pH?

A

Enzymes are denatured. Their active site changes shape so substrates can no longer bind to it. No reaction is carried out.

60
Q

What does the enzyme protease break down?

A

Proteins

61
Q

What does the enzyme carbohydrase break down?

A

Carbohydrates

62
Q

Where is bile produced?

A

The liver

63
Q

What is a positive Iodine test result?

A

Blue black

64
Q

Which enzymes are released into the small intestine?

A

Carbohydrase, protease, lipase

65
Q

Where is bile stored?

A

The gall bladder

66
Q

What do enzymes do in digestion?

A

They break down large, insoluble molecules into smaller, soluble molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream

67
Q

What is a positive Biuret test result?

A

Purple

68
Q

Which enzymes are release into the mouth?

A

Amylase

69
Q

What is the function of the small intestine?

A

Where digestion occurs and small, soluble molecules are absorbed into the bloodstream

70
Q

What substance does Ethanol Test test for?

A

Lipids
