1. glucose 2. galactose 3. Fructose |
|
name the disaccharides and their equations |
1. Lactose - glucose + galactose 2. Sucrose - glucose + fructose 3. Maltose - glucose + glucose |
|
process where 2 monosaccharides become 1 disc |
condensataion |

Making teeth and bones – most foods |
|
What is magnesium good for and where can we get it |
making bones - vegetables |
|
what is iron good for and where can we get it |
Formation of haemoglobin – Spinach |
|
what causes rickets and anemia |
lack of vitamin D lack of iron |
|
what does vitamin A help with - what happens if we don’t have it - where can we get it |
vision - nigh blindness - fish liver oils |
|
what does vitamin C help with - what happens if we don’t have it - where can we get it |
helps with the immune system - scurvy - fruits |
|
what does vitamin D help with - what happens if we don’t have it - where can we get it |
helps bones to absorb calcium - rickets - fish liver oils |
|
test for starch |
- iodine solution - yellow brown to blue black |
|
test for glucose |
- Benedict solution - heat using a water bath - blue to brick red |
|
test for protein |
- biuret test - clear to purple |
|
what are lipids and fats made of |
3 fatty acids and one glycerol / oxygen, hydrogen and carbon |
|
test for lipids |
- ethanol - add cold water - formation of white cloudy layer |
|
measuring food content without colorimeter |
1. Measure food mass 2. Fill the tube with 20cm3 of water 3. Hold the burning food under the boiling tube until it catches fire 4. Allow complete combustion 5. Measure initial and final temp 6. Calc energy content with formula mass of water x temp change x4.2 over mass of food 7. Repeat |
|
what enzyme is needed for starch to turn to maltose and where does it come from |
amylase/pancreas |
|
what enzyme is needed for maltose to turn to glucose and where does it come from |
amylase or maltase/ duodenum |
|
what enzyme is needed for protein to turn to peptides and where does it come from (in stomach) |
Trypsin/pancreas |
|
what enzyme is needed for peptides to turn to amino acids and where does it come from |
peptidase/duodenum |
|
what enzyme is needed for lipids to turn to glys+fa and where does it come from |
lipase/pancreas |
|
what happens to carbs not used up in respration |
they are changed to lipids |
|
why are saturated fats difficult to break |
they have no double bonds |
|
how do fats lead to CHD |
1. Fats build up the artery 2. Narrowing the lummen 3. Less oxygen and glucose in the blood 4. Less aerobic/more anaerobic respiration 5. Buildup of lactic acid 6. Enzymes denature 7. Less contraction of heart muscles = heart decease |
|
why are proteins good |
because we need them for growth and repair |
|
what do proteins contain |
oxygen hydrogen nitrogen sometimes sulphur |
|
what are proteins made of |
amino acids |
|
functions of proteins |
hormons are proteins haemoglobin is a protein energy sources |
|
what is calcium good for and where can we get it |
for making teeth and bones - dairy products |
|
what does biles do |
emulsifies lipids from large lipid droplets to smaller lipid droplets alkaline so creates optimum pH |
|
Give one function for iron |
forms haemoglobin |
|
Give one function for dietary fibres |
avoid constipation help with peristalsis |
|
How is the ileum adapted for absorbing substances? |
1. Villi and microvilli increase surface area 2. Blood capillaries increase concentration gradient 3. Wall is one cell, thick – short difusion distance 4. Lacteal - absorbes fatty acids and glycerol before entering the blood |
|
Suggest the health benefits of adding through to sweeten yoghurt |
no need to add sugar have vitamins |
|
Why salivary amylase in pepsin have different optimum pH values? |
PH in neutral – PH in the stomach is more acidic due to HCl Even the twins names with a different pH, they would the nature there for digestion process would be affected |
|
Why high concentrations of sugar increase the chances of decay? |
1. Bacteria in the mouth feed on the sugar to respire 2. And release energy 3. Producing a seat that destroy the tooth enamel |
|
Why is it a health risk for children to drink juice with high concentrations of sugar? |
1. Getting overweigh 2. Has more calories a provided |
|
Role of dietary fibre is in the squirrels tired |
1. indigestible 2. Help with peristalsis 3. Prevent constipation |
|
benefits of lipids |
1. Store of energy 2. Provide insulation |
|
How are villi adapted to absorb glucose |
1. Wall is 1 cell thick 2. Blood capillaries increase conc gradient 3. Microvilli increase SA 4. Mitochondria release energy for active transport |
|
why do cows absorb less energy from their food and fish |
1. Cows eat grass 2. It contains cellulose 3. Which they cant digest 4. So the energy can’ttbe digested |
|
what happens to protein in the stomach |
1. digestion 2. By pepsin 3. activated by HCL 4. Taht create optimum pH2 5. To breakdown proteins into peptides |
|
Plants that trap flies – the traps lack of teeth, explain how this might affect the rate of digestion |
1. No teeth 2. No mech digestion food isn’t broken down to smaller pieces 3. Less SA 4. Enzymes take more time to act |
