The polysaccharide form of this is too big for the body to simply break down directly. So‚ instead the body uses multiple forms of procedures to break down the molecule into a usable size‚ such as glucose. The body begins breaking it down with salivary amylase. This is the process of chewing it in your mouth. The disaccharides then go through intestinal digestion which break them down

lettuce and pickles into smaller particles or boluses so that the enzymes can digest the food much easier. Lettuce contains carbohydrates‚ proteins and fat. The tongue helps turn food in the mouth and mix with the saliva in the mouth which contains salivary amylase enzyme. It then passes through the esophagus to the stomach which is a mixer and grinder of food. The stomach secrets Hydrochloric acid and enzymes that are used in the breaking down of the food. The food then leaves the stomach in form of a

temperature is increased. With each 10oC increase in temperature‚ the rate of reaction of the enzymes will double. This is because as the temperature increases the enzyme is coming closer to its optimum conformation. At its optimum temperature the alpha amylase will be at its most efficient. But the downfall of increasing the temperature of a reaction is‚ once the enzyme temperature is raised above its optimum temperature its activity will immediately decrease. This is because raising the enzyme above its

Digestive system 6.1.1 explain why digestion of large food molecules is essential * Large food molecules are polymers‚ broken down into monomers in order to be absorbed into the blood * Humans eat substances by other organsims‚ many which are not suitable for human tissues therefore they must be broken down and reassembled in a form that is suitable * Many molecules in foods are too large to be absorbed by the villi in the small intestine‚ the large molecules have to be broken down

sandwich includes a lot of nutrients that we need in a balanced diet. The cheese sandwich is made of bread‚ cheese and butter. Each ingredient in the sandwich carries different nutrients. The bread is in the carbohydrates group which means it contains starch and glucose. The cheese and butter is in the dairy food group‚ so it contains fat and protein. Our body needs these nutrients because we use it for growth‚ maintenance of healthy tissues and energy. Balanced Diet and Nutrients A balanced diet contains
