What are specialised cells?
Cells that carry out a particular function.
1 of 30
How are cells specialised?
By diffrentiation, development of cells.
2 of 30
What forms an organ system?
Tissues form organs, many of these create an organ system.
3 of 30
What are large multicellular organisms?
They have different systems for exchanging and transporting materials.
4 of 30
What is a tissue?
A group of similar cells that work together for a particular function.
5 of 30
What is the role of muscular tissue?
To contact, to move when it's attached to.
6 of 30
What is the role of the glandular tissue?
Makes and secretes chemicals like enzymes and hormones.
7 of 30
What is the role of the epithelial tissue?
Covers the outside and inside of the stomach.
8 of 30
In the digestive system, what is the role of the glands?
e.g the pancreas and salivary glands, produces digestive juices.
9 of 30
In the digestive system, what is the role of the stomach and small intestines?
They digest food.
10 of 30
In the digestive system, what is the role of the liver?
It produces bile.
11 of 30
In the digestive system, what is the role of the small intestine?
It absorbs soluble food molecules.
12 of 30
In the digestive system, what is the role of large intestine?
Abrobes water from undigested food and leaves faeces.

What is a catalyst?
A substance that increases the speed of a reaction without changing it or being used up.
14 of 30
What is a biological catalyst? Give an example.
Enzymes, natural ones found in the boy without being produced by a lab.
15 of 30
What are enzymes made of?
Large proteins made up of chains of amino acids, folded into unique shapes.
16 of 30
Explain the 'lock and key' theory.
Enzymes are a specific shape, they can only catalyse one specific reaction. The substrate must fit the active site to work.
17 of 30
What is an 'induced fit' enzyme?
When the active site chnages shape whihc means a tighter fit in the substrate.
18 of 30
Explain how temperature effects enzymes.
A higher temperature increases the rate of the enzymes and then the reaction. However if it is too hot, the bonds between enzymes break, making them denatured.
19 of 30
Explain how pH can effect enzymes.
If pH is too high or too low it denatures the enzymes by breaking bonds. It is normally pH 7 (neutral) but protease enzymes are pH 2 like the acid in stomach.
20 of 30
In the enzymes experiment, how do you measure the rate of reaction?
Rate of Reaction = 1000/ Time (s)
21 of 30
Name 3 big molecules.
Starch, proteins and fats.
22 of 30
What are starch, protein and fats broken down into?
Glycerol, Amino Acids and Fatty Acids
23 of 30
Why are the big molecules broken down into smaller ones?
They are smaller, soluble and can easily pass through the digestive system.
24 of 30
What enzyme breaks down starch? Where is this made?
Amylase- made in Salivary Glands, Pancreas or Small Intestine.
25 of 30
What enzyme breaks down protiens? Where is this made?
Protease- Made in Stoach, Pancreas and Small Intestine.
26 of 30
What enzyme breaks down fats? Where is this made?
Lipase- Made in pancreas and Small Intestine.
27 of 30
How does bile help the digestive system?
It is alkaline so neutralises the hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
28 of 30
How does bile work on fat?
It emulsifies fat - breaks it into tiny droplets for a bigger surface area.
29 of 30
Where is bile stored and kept?
Stored in the gall bladder and released into the small intestine.
