16
Q

what does bile do

A

emulsifies lipids to increase surface area to increase to rate of lipid breakdown by lipase.
changes pH to neutral for lipase to work

17
Q

the products of digestion are used to build new

A

Carbohydrates
lipids
proteins

18

how to test for sugars (glucose)

A

benedicts’ test

19
Q

what is the result if present sugars in the bendicts test

A

orange to brick red precipitate

20
Q

how to test for starch

21
Q

what is the result if starch is present in the iodine test

22

biuret reagent

23
Q

what is the result if biuret is present in the biuret reagent

mauve or purple solution

24
Q

example of a cell

25
example of a tissue
muscle tissue
26
example of an organ
the heart
27
example of an organ system
the circulatory system
28
what are cells
the basic building blocks of all living organisms
29
what are tissues
a group of cells with a similar structure and function
30
what are organs
Aggregations of tissues working together preforming a specific function
31
what are organ systems
organs working together to form organ systems, which work together to form and organism
32
describe the Benedict's test
- place approximately 1ml of sample in clean test tube - add 2ml of Benedict's reagent - heat solution in a boiling water bath for 3-5mins - look for colour change
33
describe the iodine test
add iodine solution and look for a colour change | if starch is present then it will turn blue/black
34
describe the biuret reagent
- add you chosen solution to a test tube - if using more than one label each test tube - add 3 drops of biuret reagent to the solution and shake gently to mix - note any colour changes - if protein is present it will turn purple/pink
