  1. Digestion Topic 6.1, H2, H3

  2. Topic 6.1

  3. 6.1.1 Explain why digestion of large food molecules is essential. Hydrolysis (water-splitting) is the reaction used to break down large organic molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins). Enzymes are needed for these reactions.

  4. 6.1.2 Explain the need for enzymes in digestion.

  5. 6.1.3 State the source, substrate, products and optimum pH conditions for one amylase, one protease and one lipase.

  6. 6.1.4 Draw and label a diagram of the digestive system.

  7. 6.1.4 Draw and label a diagram of the digestive system.

  8. 6.1.5 Outline the function of the stomach, small intestine and large intestine. Stomach • Hydrochloric acid in the stomach lowers the pH to around 2, • killing bacteria and denaturing proteins. • Pepsin enzyme starts protein digestion. • Muscular actions aid mechanical digestion. • Stretch receptors in the muscular wall triggers release of • enzymes.

  9. 6.1.5 Outline the function of the stomach, small intestine and large intestine. Small Intestine

  10. 6.1.5 Outline the function of the stomach, small intestine and large intestine. Large Intestine

  11. 6.1.6 Distinguish between absorption and assimilation. Absorption and Assimilation Digestion breaks down large food molecules into smaller molecules. Absorption is the uptake of these molecules into the blood. Once in the blood, they are carried to the tissues where they are assimilated – taken in to be used.

  12. 6.1.7 Explain how the structure of the villus is related to its role in absorption and transport of the products of digestion.

  13. 6.1.7 Explain how the structure of the villus is related to its role in absorption and transport of the products of digestion.

  14. Option H2

  15. H2.1 State that digestive juices are secreted into the alimentary canal by glands, including salivary glands, gastric glands in the stomach wall, the pancreas and the wall of the small intestine.

  23. H2.4 Outline the control of digestive juice secretion by nerves and hormones, using the example of secretion of gastric juice.

  24. H2.5 Outline the role of membrane-bound enzymes on the surface of epithelial cells in the small intestine in digestion.

  25. H2.5 Outline the role of membrane-bound enzymes on the surface of epithelial cells in the small intestine in digestion.

  26. H2.6 Outline the reasons for cellulose not being digested in the alimentary canal.

  27. H2.7 Explain why pepsin and trypsin are initially synthesized as inactive precursors and how they are subsequently activated. Pepsin and trypsin are _________. If they were secreted as active enzymes, they would cause damage to the exocrine cells (_____________). They are instead secreted as inactive precursors (_______________ and ____________), which are harmless. The enzymes become activated under the right conditions.

  28. H2.7 Explain why pepsin and trypsin are initially synthesized as inactive precursors and how they are subsequently activated.

  29. H2.8 Discuss the roles of gastric acid and Helicobacter pylori in the development of stomach ulcers and stomach cancers.

  30. H2.9 Explain the problem of lipid digestion in a hydrophilic medium and the role of bile in overcoming this.
