    Ingestion‚ which occurs in the mouth‚ is the first step of the digestive process. After food enters the mouth‚ the teeth chew it. Saliva‚ which is produced by the salivary glands‚ plays a major role in breaking down the food into smaller pieces‚ such food particles‚ like Starch‚ which is digested by amylase. A large amount of saliva is amylase based‚ it is in fact‚ the first enzyme that comes into contact with your food/substrate during the process of digestion. Once the food has been chewed it turns

    Enzymes are protein‚ they are used to catalyse metabolisms in all organisms. They break down complex molecules and build up complex molecules from simple molecules‚ these two processes are catabolic reaction and anabolic reaction respectively. Enzymes are needed in these two processes to catalyse releasing and taking up ATP molecules. Different sequence of amino acid produces different structure of protein‚ which determines the property of protein‚ thus each kind of enzymes has its unique active

    Experiment 4 – Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Aim To study the effects of temperature on the activity of amylase enzyme on starch solution. Introduction Enzymes are widely known as biological catalyst. Almost all cellular reactions are controlled and guarded by enzymes. Virtually every metabolic reaction which takes place within a living organisms are catalyzed by enzymes. Enzymes are complex three-dimensional globular proteins. Some of the enzymes are built up off proteins and

    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

    The body is made up of a number of systems that all interlink and produce everything we need in order to survive. Within the body there is the digestive system; the circulatory system‚ the nervous system‚ the muscular system‚ the skeletal system and the reproductive system. These systems are all part of one another and they share organs‚ tissues and cells and that is how they interlink. The diagram above shows each system and where they are located in the body. Each system is shown in a different

    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
