  1. magnification
    1. M= magnification
      1. M= I/A
      2. I= Image size

                                                      1. Test for starch is IODINE
                                                        1. Test for reducing sugars is called the Benedict's test
                                                          1. Test for protein is called the BIURET test
                                                            1. Test for lipids is called the EMULSION test
                                                            2. Glucose + oxygen to Carbon Dioxide + Water
                                                              1. Enzymes
                                                                1. The substance that binds to the enzyme is called substrates
                                                                  1. The part where binding takes place is called the active site
                                                                    1. When the enzyme and substrate are bound together, it is called enzyme-substance complex
                                                                      1. The name of the substance when it releasessfrom the enzyme is called a product
                                                                        1. When compared to enzymes in digestion this is a synthesis reaction
                                                                          1. An enzyme is usually made of proteins.
                                                                            1. Biological catalysts

                                                                                1. Substrate (eg insoluble food) fits into the Active site of the enzyme where it can be broken down or bound together and then be released
                                                                                  1. Enzymes can only react with a specific substreate
                                                                                2. Eukaryotic= with a nucleus
                                                                                  1. Prokaryotic= without a nucleus
                                                                                  2. Specialised cells- A specialised is a cell that has adapted to do its function.
                                                                                    1. For example a sperm cell. A sperm cell has a tail to help swim. There are enzymes in the head. Has a large number of mitochondria fro repiration for energy
