What is chemical digestion? Changing big nutrient molecules into their smaller building blocks REQUIRES ENZYMES Example: Proteins broken down into amino acids. Proteins and amino acids are different substances.
Where does chemical digestion occur and name the enzyme found in each location Mouth- salivary amylase Stomach - pepsin Small intestine- amylase, lipase, protease
What is mechanical digestion? Food is broken into smaller pieces by teeth or churning Big protein molecules broken down into smaller protein molecules Big fat molecules broken down into smaller fat molecules
Where does mechanical digestion take place? Mouth stomach
What types of organisms do cell respiration? All Living things- grass, trees, birds, dogs, cats, gorillas, monkeys, bugs, etc etc.
Give an example of a catalyst Any enzyme! Catalysts are things that speed up reactions
In this sentence what does catalyze mean In this sentence what does catalyze mean? How do enzymes catalyze reactions? Speed up
What is the equation for a catalyzed reaction? Enzyme + substrate --> enzyme + product *** the substrate is what is broken down into product (example: H202 broken into H20 and O2
Can enzymes ever be used up? NO. Enzymes are never used up and are not changed from reactions.
How many substrates can an enzyme work on? ONE! Enzymes are specific, they only attach to one substrate. Just like a key only goes with one lock.
What had a faster reaction- raw or cooked liver? Why? Raw liver. Liver has enzymes in it. Cooked liver means the liver was in heat. Heat causes enzymes to denature which means they lose their shape. Enzymes must have an exact shape (like a key) to work
What conditions have an impact on how well enzymes work? pH (acidity and basic) and temperature. Enzymes like to be in a certain range. If enzymes are in environments that are too hot, too cold, too acidic or too basic they won’t work as well and might not work at all
In the lab, what items had catalase (hydrogen peroxidase) in them? Catalase (hydrogen peroxidase) is an enzyme. All enzymes are found in living things. So they would be found in: raw liver and cooked liver
Hydrogen peroxide is made by reactions in our body and is dangerous to our cells. It must be broken down by the enzyme hydrogen peroxidase

What order does food travel through the digestive tract beginning with the mouth? Mouth then esophagus then stomach then small intestine then large intestine then rectum then anus
What are the 3 major groups of nutrients? Carbohydrates, lipids (fat), protein
Where are the salivary glands located? Mouth
This connects mouth to stomach Esophagus
This is the place where most absorption and digestion takes place Small intestine
This is under the stomach and makes enzymes pancreas
The first place where carbs are broken down chemically by enzymes Mouth
This is where peristalsis occurs Esophagus
This is where wastes are produced Large intestine
Here you can find villi Small intestine
This produces bile liver
Where are carbs broken down by salivary amylase? Mouth
Are vitamins and minerals considered nutrients? Where are they absorbed? They are not nutrients because they do not have calories They are absorbed in the large intestine
The places where no digestion occur Esophagus, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, large intestine, rectum
This is the place where churning occurs Stomach
This is where vitamins and minerals are absorbed Large intestine
Here you find little fingerlike projections that absorb nutrients Small intestine
What enzyme breaks carbs down chemically into simple sugars? Amylase
Last place where digestion occurs Small intestine
This is where wastes are stored right before they exit the body rectum
In this spot, nutrients such as amino acids, fatty acids and simple sugars are small enough to pass into villi Small intestine
This is where reabsorption of water occurs large intestine
This is where any extra water is removed before it exits the body large intestine
This is a triple threat- proteins, lipids and carbs can be broken down chemically here Small intestine
Pepper, mustard, horseradish, nicotine, coffee and alcohol irritate this Stomach
What is the flap that covers the opening to the wind pipe (trachea) when you are swallowing food? Epiglottis
This structure is under the stomach and is important for making enzymes pancreas
Here you can only find simple sugars Mouth (because in mouth ONLY carbs are broken down into simple sugars by amylase)
Here you can find amino acids, fatty acids and simple sugars Small intestine (because carbs are broken down into simple sugars by amylase; proteins are broken down into amino acids by protease and lipids broken down into fatty acids by lipase)
The place where waves of muscular contractions move food esophagus
This structure makes the enzymes protease, amylase and lipase Pancreas
Stomach because enzyme pepsin is made by stomach This is where proteins are broken down into amino acids by the enzyme pepsin Stomach because enzyme pepsin is made by stomach
The name for the mushy ball of food that leaves your mouth and goes down the esophagus bolus
This is the place where ONLY proteins can broken down by enzymes stomach
Is bile an enzyme? What does it break down? NO; it breaks down fats by mechanical digestion. It takes big lipids (fats) and turns them into smaller pieces of lipid (fat)
This is where carbs are broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme pancreatic amylase Small intestine
This structure makes 3 enzymes that it releases into the small intestine pancreas
The 2 places where both chemical and mechanical digestion occur Mouth and stomach
Proteins are broken by pepsin in this location stomach
How do enzymes cause reactions to go faster? They lower the energy needed for the reaction to start (enzymes lower the activation energy)
This is where lipids are broken down into fatty acids by the enzyme lipase Small intestine
Where you can find gastric juice stomach
This is the place where ONLY CHEMICAL digestion occurs Small intestine
What are the 3 biomolecules (nutrients)? Proteins, lipids, carbs
All digestion finishes in this location Small intestine
Empties bile into the small intestine Gall Bladder
What is the building block of carbs What is the building block of carbs? (another way of asking that is…what are carbs broken down into by enzymes?) Simple sugars
What is enzyme specificity? 1 enzyme for every substrate
Breaks down proteins in the small intestine protease
Is H202 (hydrogen peroxide) or catalase the enzyme?
This enzyme is found in mouth and small intestine Amylase
What letters do enzymes end in? -ase
How are photosynthesis and respiration related? They are opposites. The products of one are the reactants of the other
What is the building block of lipids What is the building block of lipids? (another way of asking that is… what are lipids broken down into by enzymes?) Fatty acids
