Q

Non renewable

Renewable

A

Q

Energy transfers

A

This is when one energy store transfers its energy to an other energy store giving one energy store more energy and the other less.

Q

Convection?

A

Convection is the transfer of energy when a heat source condenses and rises and cooler particles replace the hotter particles as they push forward (convection current)

25
How many main nutrients that are found in food
There are 6
26
What are the six main nutrients
Protein, Carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, fats and water
27
What is a balanced diet?
A balanced diet is when you eat all the 6 or 7 nutrients in the right amount for you.
28
Vitamins
C is for healthy skin and gums | D for healthy and strong teeth and bones
29
What do enzymes do
They are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of digestion and other reactions.
30
Digestive enzymes...
Speed up the breaking down process of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids.
31
Where are enzymes made
They are made in the pancreas
32
What to Carbohydrase enzymes do
They break down carbohydrates into simple sugars
33
What to protease enzymes do
They break down proteins into amino acids
34
What do lipase enzymes do
They break down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol
35
What food give you carbohydrates
Potatoes, sugar, fruit, bread, pasta and rice...
36
What food give you protein
Fish, eggs, meat and nuts
37
What food gives you lipids
Meat like chicken, fish and cheese
38
What food gives you minerals
Dairy, red meat...
39
What food gives you vitamins
fruit, vegetables
40
What is fibre
Fibre is a type of carbohydrate that helps bulk food, it is from cereals and vegetables
41
How can you test foods
You find there nutrient using chemical reactions
42
How do you prepare a food solution
Crush the food using a pestle and mortar Add a few drops of water and mix well
43
What do you use to test for starch
You use iodine solution which is a orang- yellow liquid
44
How do you test for starch?
Add a few drops of iodine solution If the solution turns a dark blue-black colour, the food contains starch.
45
What do you use to test for lipids
A piece of filter paper
46
How do you test for a solid lipid
Rub some of the food in a solid piece of food onto a piece of filter paper. Hold the paper up to the light. If it has gone translucent, the food contains lipids
47
How do you test for a lipid solution?
To test for a lipid solution, use ethanol which is a colourless liquid
48
What are the processes to test for starch lipid solution
- Add a few drops of ethanol - Shake the test tube for a min - Pour the ethanol into a test tube of water - If the solution turns cloudy, the food contains lipids.
49
How do you test for sugars
To test for simple sugars like glucose you use Benedict solution
50
What are the steps to test for sugar?
Poor a few drops of ethanol into a test tube Heat the test tube is a water bath If it turns and orange-red colour it contains sugar
51
How do you test for protein
You use copper sulphate solution and sodium hydroxide solution which is a colourless liquid. You add a few drops of copper sulphate on your food and sodium hydroxide If the solution turns purple it contain protein
52
What happens to underweight people
Heart problems such as a poor immune system Lack of energy And a lack of minerals and vitamins
53
What happens to people that are overweight?
Hear disease Stroke Diabetes Some form of cancer
54
What are vitamin and mineral deficiencies
If a person does not have enough of a certain mineral or vitamin then they are said to have a deficiency.
55
What do you need to burn energy from food and fules
Oxygen
56
What happens when you burn fuel in a power station
It produces current
57
Sleeping howw much energy do you need
300kj
58
Working how much energy do you need
600kj
59
Why do we need energy
To keep our body warm, to breathe, move (muscular contraction) and talk
60
What is dissipation
Dissipation is a term that is often used to describe ways in which energy is wasted. ... Work is done against friction which causes heating of the two surfaces - so the internal (thermal) energy of the surfaces increases.
61
what is energy dissipation during transfers.
Whenever there is a change in a system, energy is transferred and some of that energy is dissipated .
62
Dissipation process
Dissipation. ... A dissipative process is a process in which energy (internal, bulk flow kinetic, or system potential) is transformed from some initial form to some final form; the capacity of the final form to do mechanical work is less than that of the initial form.
63
Example of a transfer of dissipation
This Sankey diagram for an electric lamp shows that most of the electrical energy is transferred as heat rather than light. Energy can be transferred usefully, stored or dissipated . It cannot be created or destroyed. This is called conservation of energy.
