Question | Answer |
What are enzymes made from? | Protein (long chains of amino acids) |
How many reactions can enzymes catalyse? | It can only catalyse one reaction |
Define a catalyst | A catalyst is a substance which increases the speed of a reaction, without being changed or used up in the reaction |
What do starch, proteins and fats have in common? | They are big molecules therefore they are too big too pass through the walls of the digestive system |
What does bile do? | Bile neutralises stomach acid and emulsifies fats (breaks down into tiny droplets to form a bigger surface area for lipases to work on and makes digestion happen faster) |
Which enzyme converts starch into sugars? | Amylase |
Where is bile produced? | In the liver |
Where bile stored? | In the gall bladder |
Where is amylase produced? | The salivary glands, the pancreas and the small intestine |
Where is protease produced? | The stomach (pepsin), the small intestine and the pancreas |
What does lipase convert? | Lipids into glycerol and fatty acid |
Define respiration | The process of releasing energy from glucose which goes into every cell |
Which process of respiration produces lactic acid due to the incomplete breakdown of glucose? | Anaerobic respiration |
Give the word equation of aerobic respiration | Glucose+Oxygen----->Carbon Dioxide+Water+Energy |
When anaerobic respiration used? | When there's not enough oxygen |
What anaerobic respiration lead to? | Oxygen debt |
Which type of respiration occurs in plants and animals? | Aerobic respiration |
Which is the most efficient way to release energy from glucose? | Aerobic Respiration |
Where does most of the reactions in aerobic respiration happen? | Inside the mitochondria |
