Biology Form Four Digestion Digestion is the process by which food is broken down from complex insoluble substances into simple soluble substances. There are two types of digestion – chemical digestion and mechanical digestion. Mechanical digestion involves breaking up large pieces of food into smaller pieces. This provides a large surface area for the action of enzymes on food. There is no change to the chemical composition of food during mechanical digestion. Mechanical digestion occurs in the

Physiology & Anatomy Lab SC 145L Anatomy & Physiology I Lab Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion Introduction: In this lab‚ we will see how different chemical processes occur as we observe how different enzymes digest different substrates and produce subunits. Key Terms: (found in bold in Lab Manual) Please define all bold terms in your own words: Enzymes- Large protein molecules made by your body cells. Catalyst- Without becoming part of the substance it will change the rate

Lab 8 - Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion (p.105) Introduction: In this lab‚ I will study how digestion of carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and fats occurs. I will define Key Terms that describe what will occur in the experiments; I will conduct an experiment for each Activity and provide all resulting Data as well as answer Questions from each Activity. I will then provide a short Summary for what I learned in each Activity. Key Terms: Enzymes (p. 105) – Speed up chemical

Review Sheet Exercise 8 Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion NAME Dane Wilson LAB DATE/TIME august 4th Carbohydrate Digestion The following questions refer to Activity 1: Assessing Starch Digestion by Salivary Amylase. 1. At what pH did you see the highest activity of salivary amylase? Why? 7.0 because that is when the salivary is most effective and it breaks down carbohydrates. 2. How do you know that the amylase did not have any contaminating maltose

fragments. This step is made possible by the contraction of the muscle of the stomach‚ the muscularis. Composed of three layers of fibers arranged longitudinally‚ circular and oblique‚ it mixes and kneads the food. Then begins the chemical digestion. Only the digestion of proteins begins in the stomach. The mucosa contains glands that secrete gastric juices. Under normal conditions‚ the production of juices is 2 to 3 L per day. Hydrochloric acid and enzymes are also produced by cells of the stomach
