What do carbohydrates contain

1. Carbon 2. Hydrogen 3. Oxygen

Why are carbohydrates the main fuel

bcs main carbo is starch that is a main product of respiration

name the 3 monosacharides

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

process where 1 disc becomes 2 mono

hydrolysis

name the 3 polysaccharides

1. Strach


2. glycogen


3. Cellulose

3 functions of carbs

strcuctural materials


energy source


food stores

what is phosphorus good for and where can we get it

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

The rabbits intestines contain bacteria what is an advantage

1. Cellulose is broken down to glucose


2. Can be used for respiration

Micro proteins contain a low levels of fat and high levels of protein how does each benefit human diet
