Biology Journal 10/1/2013 What kind of reaction is shown? Decomposition through hydrolysis Write out the reaction as words: see below 3. When might this reaction be happing in your life? This happens whenever you eat sucrose (sugar)! → + + H2O sucrose + water → fructose + glucose We will now learn how the digestive system makes this happen!
What do the parts in the picture represent? A = B = C = D = E = Substrate Enzyme Active site Enzyme-substrate complex Products What kind of reaction is happening in this picture? Decomposition
Large food molecules need to be digested or catabolized (broken down by an enzyme –usually hydrolysis) before the nutrients can be absorbed. • Reactants are: • Big (too big to be absorbed into a cell) • Usually insoluble • Products are: • Small enough to be absorbed into a cell • Usually soluble
What could be a null hypothesis for the toothpickase lab we just did?
How will you test the null hypothesis to see if it is supported or not supported?

Biology Journal What is activation energy? What do enzymes do to activation energy? Activation energy is the energy input required to make a reaction happen. Enzymes lower the activation energy of a reaction, thus it’s faster!
Stomach • Has a pH of 2 (because of HCl) • pH kills almost all bacteria, viruses and denatures proteins • Contains pepsin (a protease whose optimum pH is 2) • Stretch-receptors trigger release of enzymes
So, based on that, do you think that the 5 second rule is valid?
Small Intestine • Absorbs molecules through villi • Long! (around 7 meters (23 feet) long)
Small Intestine • Liver and Pancreas add enzymes to finish breaking down food • Bile ducts and pancreatic duct meet up and transfer bile and enzymes to duodenum
Small Intestine • Villi are finger-like projections that maximize surface area for absorption of molecules.
Villi are like a bath towel. The more surface area, the faster and more efficient the absorption.
Molecules are absorbed by villi, meaning the nutrients pass from the gut into the blood. These molecules are assimilatedby cells, meaning cells take the molecules and integrate them into themselves.
Large Intestine • Absorbs water from food (not nutrients) • Has large stores of bacteria
How does diarrhea help cure you from an illness? • During diarrhea, the small intestine stops absorbing water and instead attempts to purge all contents of digestive system.
