Mitochondria
8 of 30
Name two other processes sped up by enzymes
Digestion, Respiration, Photosynthesis
9 of 30
Can you kill an enzyme?
No, but it can be denatured

What are Carbohydrases?
They are enzymes that break down carbohydrates (e.g. Starch) into Sugars in the mouth and S. Intestine
11 of 30
Give an example of a Carbohydrase?
Amylase
12 of 30
What are Proteases?
They are enzymes that break down protein into Amino Acids in the stomach and S. Intestine
13 of 30
Give an example of a Protease?
Pepsin
14 of 30
What are Lipases?
They are enzymes that break down lipids into Fatty Acids and Glycerol in the S. Intestine
15 of 30
Where is bile made?
In the liver
16 of 30
What is Pepsin's Optimum pH
pH 2
17 of 30
What are carbohydrates made up of?
Units of sugar?
18 of 30
What are Simple Sugars?
They are carbohydrates that contain only one or two sugar units
19 of 30
What is the test for starch?
Add on a drop of (brown) iodine solution on the tile. A blue-black colour indicates the presence of starch.
20 of 30
What is the test for Lipids?
Add ethanol and shake thoroughly. Positive Result: A layer of cloudy white suspension forms at the top of the solution
21 of 30
What is the test for protein?
Add 3 drops of Biuret reagent solution to the test tube. Note any color change. Proteins will turn solution pink or purple.

What does the stomach do?
It breaks down large insoluble molecules into smaller soluble molecules - digests food
23 of 30
What does the Small Intestine do?
It breaks down large insoluble molecules into smaller soluble molecules and absorption
24 of 30
What does the Large Intestine do?
Absorbs water from undigested food.
25 of 30
What does the Pancreas do?
It makes and releases digestive juices
26 of 30
What does the Gall Bladder do?
It is mainly a storage organ that helps in the digestion of fat and helps to make bile more concentrated to increase its effect on fat cells.
27 of 30
What is the Epithelial Tissue?
It covers the inside and outside of an organ.
28 of 30
What is the Muscle Tissue?
It churns the food and digestive juices of the stomach together
29 of 30
What is the Glandular Tissue?
It produces digestive juices, enzymes etc. that break down food.
