what are enzymes
they are biological catalyst
1 of 13
what is a catalyst
speed up reactions without being used up themselves
2 of 13
what are proteins
they are chains of proteins
3 of 13
what is the test for starch
use iodine solution if starch is present the solution will turn blue/black
4 of 13
what is the test for sugars
use Benedict's solution if sugar is present it will turn green,yellow or red (depending on the amount of sugar present)

what is the test for amino acids
use biuret solution if amino acid is present it will turn a lilac colour
6 of 13
what is the test for lipids
use ethanol if lipid is present ethanol will go cloudy

what is digestion
is the breakdown of large insoluble molecules into smaller soluble molecules that can be absorbed into the blood and this break down is sped up by enzyme
