What are enzymes and what are factors that affect the rate of action?
biological catalysts - no factors affect rate of action
Fruits - ph and temperature
Biological catalysts - ph and temperature
Fruits - no factors affect rate of action
Which is the correct equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + H2O -> NH3 + 6O2
6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
CO2 + H2O -> CHO + O2
CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Temperature
Light intensity
No factor affects the rate of photosynthesis

What are nitrate and magnesium ions used for?
Nitrate ions - build amino acids (without it the plants wont grow/repair itself)
Nitrate ions - make chlorophyll (without it plant wont grow/repair itself)
Magnesium ions - builds amino acids (without it photosynthesis cant take place)
Magnesium ions - makes chlorophyll (without it photosynthesis cant take place)
What are the essential nutrients needed for a balanced diet?
Carbohydrates
Fats and fiber
Protein and water
Vitamin c and d
Mineral salts
What are the effects of malnutrition?
Starvation, constipation, coronary heart disease, obesity, scurvy, kwashiorkor and marasmus
No effects
Too many to name
Diabetes, cáncer, eczema, memory loss, dizziness, nausea
What is ingestion?
Movement of molecules
Breakdown of molecules
Taking in of substances into the body through the mouth
Excretion of molecules
What is the difference between mechanical and chemical digestion?
Mechanical is the breakdown of food into small pieces and chemical digestion is the same
Mechanical is the breakdown of food into smaller pieces without chemical changes and chemical is the breakdown of large insoluble molecules into small soluble molecules
Mechanical is the breakdown of large insoluble molecules into smaller molecules and chemical is the breakdown of food into smaller pieces without chemical changes
What is absorption?
Movement of small food molecules and ions through the the wall of the intestine and into the blood.
Passing out of food
Breakdown of food
Taking in of food
What is assimilation and egestion?
Movement of digested food into the cells of the body to be used and taking in of food
Movement of digested food into the cells to be used and breakdown of food
Movement of digested food into the cells to be used and movement of food
Movement of digested food into the cells to be used and passing out of food that hasn’t been digested
What is the function of the mouth and the salivary glands in the alimentary canal?
Enzymes are used to breakdown the food
food is allowed to pass through from the mouth to the stomach
food is mechanically digested in the mouth and salivary glands release saliva which contains carbohydrase (chemical digestion of starch
Acidity in the mouth is neutralized by the saliva excreted from the salivary glands before it can pass through to the oesophagus.
What is the function of the stomach in the alimentary canal?
Acidity is neutralized, only chemical digestion takes place and enzymes such as lipase, carbohydrates and maltase are released
Protease enzymes breakdown protein, food is broken up, HCL maintains optimum on for enzyme action and kills bacteria
Stomach isn’t part of the alimentary canal
Food molecules get prepared to be egested and go through several stages of neutralization
What is the function of ileum and duodenum in the small intestines?
Ileum - acidity from the stomach is neutralized and protease, lipase and amylase is released to breakdown molecules.
Ileum - products of digestion are absorbed into the blood
Duodenum - products of digestion are absorbed into the blood
Duodenum - acidity from the stomach is neutralized and protease, lipase and amylase is released to breakdown molecules.
Where is bile produced, and stored, and what is its function?
Produced in the liver, stored in gall bladder, neutralizes acidic conditions from stomach and provided optimum ph
Produced in gall bladder, stored in liver, neutralizes acidic conditions from stomach and provided optimum ph
Produced in small intestines, stored in gall bladder, neutralizes acidic conditions from stomach and provided optimum ph
Produced in liver, stored in small intestines, neutralizes acidic conditions from stomach and provided optimum ph
What causes cholera and what are its effects?
caused by bacteria present in contaminated food and water. some bacteria passes through to the small intestine and stick to the intestinal walls.
Toxic proteins are released which secretes chloride ions into the S.I. The lowered water potential causes diarrhea.
caused by sugary food and drinks. Sugar causes clotting in the arteries.
Blood clots are formed which causes CHD
What causes dental decay?
Dentists- frequent visits cause teeth to be worn out hence they begin to decay
Excess of protein intake- protein layers form on top of tooth preventing mechanical digestion from taking place
Spicy food- spices penetrate the enamel and destroydentine
Bacteria coating teeth- acidic substances formed by the respiration of sugars dissolves the enamel and then destine
What is the function of the villi and microvilli in the small intestines?
Decreases surface area, lowers concentration gradient and doesn't absorb fat.
increases surface area, maintains high concentration gradient and contains lacteals to absorb fat
Decreases surface area to reduce the rate of absorption
There is no such thing as villi and microvilli
What are the features and function of xylem vessels?
It is made from hollowed out dead cells and is used to transport sugars and food molecules (translocation)
It is made from hollowed out dead cells and transports water from the roots (transpiration)
It is made from living cells and transports water from the roots (transpiration)
It is made of living cells and is used to transport sugars and food molecules (translocation)
What are the features and functions of phloem vessels?
It is made from living cells and transports water from the roots (transpiration)
It is made of living cells and is used to transport sugars and food molecules (translocation)
It is made from hollowed out dead cells and transports water from the roots (transpiration)
It is made from hollowed out dead cells and is used to transport sugars and food molecules (translocation)
What is transpiration and what affects the rate of transpiration?
loss of water vapour from the mesophyll cell surface due to evaporation. depends on the temperature and humidity.
gain of water vapour from the mesophyll cell surface due to evaporation. depends on the temperature and ph.
loss of water vapour from the mesophyll cell surface due to boiling. No factors affect the rate
Gain of water vapour from the mesophyll cell surface due to evaporation. No factors affect the rate
What is translocation?
transport of water. Materials are always transported from sink (stored) to source (produced)
transport of water. Materials are always transported from source (produced) to sink (stored).
transport of amino acids and sucrose. Materials are always transported from source (produced) to sink (stored).
