Notes on Biology 

?
Enzymes
are proteins and biological catalysts
1 of 8
Amylase enzyme
Made in salivary glands & pancreas. They break down starch into sugars in the mouth and the small intestines.
2 of 8
Protease enzymes
Made in the stomach & small intestines. They break down protein into amino acids in the stomach and small intestines
3 of 8
Lipase enzymes
Made in the pancreas & small intestines. They break down lipides (fats and oils) into fatty acids and glycerol in the small intestines
4 of 8
Bile
neutralises the acid conditions from the stomach by raising the pH
5 of 8
Aerobic respiration
Happens in the mitochondria of all cells and is the process of releasing energy from food. Also produces a waste product called lactic acid.
6 of 8
Carbohydrates
provides a slow release of energy than eating simple sugars.
7 of 8
Anaerobic respiration
provides energy when insufficient oxygen is available
