What must a balanced diet contain? Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats, Vitamins and Minerals & Water.

What does carbohydrate break down into? Glucose.
What does protein break down into? Amino Acids.
What does fat break down into? Fatty acids and Glycerol.
Where are carbohydrases found? 1) The mouth 2) The small intestine
Where are Proteases found? 1) The stomach 2) The small intestine
Where are Lipases found? 1) The small intestine
How is the small intestine adapted to digestion? 1) It's very long so a lot of time to digest food. 2) Big surface area. Covered in millions and millions of Villi. 3) Each cell on the surface of the Villus also has Microvilli that increase the surface area even more. 4) Villi have a very thin, single permeable layer that has a very good blood supply that allows quick absorption.
How are food molecules absorbed into the blood? By diffusion.
What is meant by Fitness? How well you can perform physical tasks.
What is meant by Health? Being free of disease and infections.

What are the 4 main proteins? Enzymes, Carrier Molecules, Hormones & Structural Proteins.
What is the role of an enzyme? To control cell reactions.
