Adaptions of small intestine for absorption
1) large surface area means that more absorption can take place 2) network of capillaries nearby means that nutrients can easily be absorbed into the bloodstream 3) One cell thick lining means that gases can diffuse easier

Microbes
Fungi largest and most complex can form larger organisms. Bacteria generally smaller than fungi but larger than viruses. Viruses have outer jelly coat. Smallest and non living. Require other living host cells to carry out life processes
2 of 5
Photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide + water = Glucose + Oxygen
3 of 5
Enzymes
Biological catalysts. Digestive enzymes are amylase which works on carbohydrates/starch, Lipase which works on lipids, Protease which works on proteins and pepsin which also acts on protein.
