7 life processes

Movement


Respiration


Sense



Growth


Reproduction


Excretion


Nutrition


7 nutrients

Protein


Fiber


Fats


Minerals


Vitamins


Carbohydrate


Water

Carbohydrate

To provide energy

Protein

For growth and repair

Fat

To provide energy. Also to store energy in the body to insulate it against cold.

Minerals

Needed in small amounts to maintain health.

Vitamins

Needed in small amounts to maintain health

Fibre

To provide roughage to help keep the food moving through the gut

Water

Needed for cells and body fluids

Digestive system parts

Mouth


oesophagus


stomach


Small intestine


Large intestine


Anus


Rectum


Pancreas


Liver

Mouth

There are 2 processes:


1. Chemical: saliva contains amylase enzymes that break down carbohydrate.


2. Mechanical: muscles (teeth) bite food into smaller pieces.

Oesophagus

Conector the mouth to the stomach

Stomach

Kills bacteria with the acid in the stomach.


Releases enzymes.

Small intestine

The nutrients enters in this part in the body for example it goes to the blood.

Large intestine

The water enters the body in this part

Anus

Their goes your waste out ( mostly fiber)

Rectum

Stores fiber to be released

Pancreas

This releases enzymes into the small intestine

Liver

Produces bile

What are enzymes

Chemical digestion breaking down food by chemical reactions.


Enzymes are just special proteins.


They can break large molecules into small molecules.


Different types of enzymes break down different nutrients.


Types of enzymes

Malnutrition

When you eat too much or too little of a nutrient

Red blood cells

Transport oxygen.


Contain protein.


Remove CO² from blood.

White blood cell

Fight infection

Platelets

When there is a wound platelets stop blood going out and bacteria coming in .

Artery

Blood in arteries travels away from the heart and the towards the organ. It travel at high speed. It Is usual oxygenated. Has thick muscular Walls.

Vein

Take blood to the heart and away from the organs. It haItlow pressure . It has valves to prevent blood going backwards. The veins carry deoxygenated blood.

Capillary

The capillarys are microscopic vessels that connects arterioles to venules. The Walls are one cel thick, that allows substances between blood and body cells pass.

Parts of Heart

Proces from alveoly to muscle cells

When the lung has oxygen it go through the capillary, the air ( with blood ) go to the muscle cells through the circulatory system

Respiratory system

Process of breathing : breathe in

When we breathe the diaphragm contracts and flattens. The intercostal muscles contracts and ribs move upwards and downwards . The volume of the ribcage increase and lung inflate.

Process of breathe : breathe out

When we breathe out the diaphragm relax and bends upwards. The intercostal muscles relax and ribs move inwards and down. The volume decrease and the lung deflate.

Mouth and nose

Opening where air enters the body.

Trachea

Tube is surrounded by cartilage that takes air to the lungs

Lungs

Spongy organs where gases go into.

Bronchus

The trachea splits into these

Bronchiole

Each bronchus will separate into these

Alveoli

Tiny sacs of air that exchange gases

Ribs

Made of bone to protect the lungs

Diaphragm

Flat muscle that moves to push air out of the lungs.

Breathing

Breathing in is called inhalation, breathing out is called exhalation . Breathing is about 2 set muscles, the intercostal muscles Found between the Ribs and the diaphragm which separates the chest from the body bellow

Equation for aerobic respiration

Reactants


Glucose ( sugar) + oxygen =


Products


=Carbon dioxide+ water



C6 H¹² O6 + O² -> CO² + H²O

Difference between breathing and respiration

Breathing is ventilation .


The purpose of respiration is to release energy .

What role does the blood play in aerobic respiration?

The blood caries the glucose and oxygen around the body to your cells, the waste products water and CO² are taken to the kidneys and lungs to be removed from the body .

Aerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration is respiration that required or needs oxygen.

Anaerobic equation

Glucose = lactic acid energy

Anaerobic respiration

Anaerobic respiration is respiration without oxygen. In anaerobic respiration the product is lactic acid . A little energy is released because not all energy is released from each glucose molecule., Lactic acid is poisenes . Anaerobic respiration take place where there is not enough oxygen available but energy is required. This happenes when atlhete run very fast but the body cannot supply enough energy. To get rid of lactic acid the person will need a good supply of oxygen .

Components of air

Smoking components : tar

- contains cancer causing chemicals.


-stops cilia working


-increase change of infection

Smoking components : Nicotine

Addictive drugs

Smoking components : carbon monoxide

Binds to the red blood cells so they can no longer transport oxygen this causes being tired. Also the pressure of your arteries will increase because your body neats more oxygen.

Food test: starch

We added iodine to the food. If the food turned black, starch (carbohydrate) was present. Rice, bread, banana and potato all contained starch.

Food test: protein

We added sodium hydroxide and biuret and that gives us the reaction to the food. If the solution turned purple, protein is present. For some reasons, the ham and the egg didn't go purple.

Food test: fat

1. Add food (chicken skin) into boiling tube.


2. We add then ethanol and water , then mix it.


4. If the solution turned cloudy, fat is present.

Food test: glucose (sugar)

1.add Benedict's solution to the food


2. If the solution turned brick red, glucose is present


3. With a sausage the solution would turn blue.

Malnutrition: kwashiorkor

Caused by Lack of protein.

Malnutrition: night blindness

Caused by Lack of vitamine A.

Cartilage

The cartilage is around the trachea. It keep the trachea open and stop it collapsing.
