Q

We cannot control the level of water, ion or urea loss by the lungs or skin. Explain why ?

A

We cannot control the level of water, ion or urea loss by the lungs or skin. For example, in a hot climate, your body sweats to help keep you cool. In the same way, when we breathe out we lose water vapour, and we cannot alter the amount we lose.

Q

Describe the structure and functioning of a simple reflex arc illustrated by the withdrawal of a finger from a hot object

A
  1. The pin (the stimulus) is detected by a (pain/pressure/touch) receptor in the skin on the person’s foot
  2. A sensory neurone sends electrical impulses to the spinal cord (the coordinator)
  3. An electrical impulse is passed to a relay neurone in the spinal cord (part of the CNS)
  4. A relay neurone synapses with a motor neurone
  5. A motor neurone carries an impulse to a muscle in the leg (the effector)
  6. When stimulated by the motor neurone, the muscle will contract and pull the foot up and away from the sharp object (the response)
  7. This all occurs within a fraction of a second

Q

How does the temperature affect the enzymes?

A

Enzymes are proteins and have a specific shape, determined by the amino acids that make the enzyme and held in place by bonds

This is extremely important around the active site as the specific shape is what ensures the substrate will fit into the active site and enable the reaction to proceed

Enzymes work fastest at their ‘optimum temperature’

In the human body, the optimum temperature is 37⁰C

Heating to high temperatures (beyond the optimum) will break the bonds that hold the enzyme together and it will lose its shape

This is known as denaturation

Substrates cannot fit into denatured enzymes as the shape of their active site has been lost

Denaturation is irreversible - once enzymes are denatured they cannot regain their proper shape and activity will stop

peristalsis
waves of muscular contractio that push food along the alimentary canal
61
The Stages of Food Breakdown
The Stages of Food Breakdown Food taken into the body goes through 5 different stages during its passage through the alimentary canal (the gut): Ingestion - the taking in of substances, e.g. food and drink, into the body through the mouth Mechanical digestion - the breakdown of food into smaller pieces without chemical change to the food molecules Chemical digestion - the breakdown of large, insoluble molecules into small, soluble molecules Absorption - the movement of small food molecules and ions through the wall of the intestine into the blood Assimilation - the movement of digested food molecules into the cells of the body where they are used, becoming part of the cells Egestion - the passing out of food that has not been digested or absorbed (as faeces) through the anus
62

63
what is the role of ## Footnote Amylasento maltose Maltase
Amylase is made in the salivary glands, the pancreas and the small intestine Amylase breaks down starch into maltose Maltase then breaks down maltose into glucose
64
what is proteases? what is pepsin?
Proteases are a group of enzymes that break down proteins into amino acids Pepsin is an enzyme made in the stomach which breaks down proteins into smaller polypeptide chains Proteases made in the pancreas and small intestine break the peptides into amino acids
65
what is the Lipases?
Lipases are enzymes that break down lipids (fats) to glycerol and fatty acids Lipase enzymes are produced in the pancreas and secreted into the small intestine
66
what is the role of Bile?
Bile is an alkaline substance produced by cells in the liver Before being released into the small intestine bile is stored in the gallbladder ***_the rolse is :_*** Neutralising the hydrochloric acid from the stomach Breaking apart large drops of fat into smaller ones known as **emulsification**
67
emulsification is a mechanical / chemical digestion?
mechanical
68
Adaptations of the Small Intestine
Adaptations of the Small Intestine The small intestine has a **highly folded surface with millions of villi** These adaptations increase the **surface area** of the small intestine, allowing **absorption** to take place faster and more efficiently **Peristalsis** helps by mixing together food and enzymes and by keeping things moving along the **alimentary canal** Villi have A large surface area A short diffusion distance The wall of a villus is only one cell thick A steep concentration gradient supplied with a network of blood capillaries that transport glucose and amino acids away from the small intestine in the blood Enzymes produced in the walls of the villi assist with chemical digestion The movement of villi helps to move food along and mix it with the enzymes present
