Nutrition
Muhtasari
Every living thing needs energy and raw materials to survive. Plants capture sunlight and build glucose from carbon dioxide and water, while animals obtain their nutrients by eating other organisms and breaking food down in a specialised digestive system.
In this lesson you will explore photosynthesis in plants - including limiting factors and leaf adaptations - and then turn to human nutrition: the structure of the alimentary canal and the role of digestive enzymes. Both halves of this topic appear regularly in Papers 1 and 2.
Malengo
- Understand the process of photosynthesis and its importance in the conversion of light energy to chemical energy
- Know the word equation and the balanced chemical symbol equation for photosynthesis
- Understand how varying carbon dioxide concentration, light intensity and temperature affect the rate of photosynthesis
- Describe the structure of the leaf and explain how it is adapted for photosynthesis
- Investigate photosynthesis, showing the evolution of oxygen from a water plant, the production of starch and the requirements of light, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll
- Describe the structure and function of the human alimentary canal, including the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine (duodenum and ileum), large intestine (colon and rectum) and pancreas
- Understand the role of digestive enzymes, including the digestion of starch to glucose by amylase and maltase, the digestion of proteins to amino acids by proteases and the digestion of lipids to fatty acids and glycerol by lipases
