Answer:

1(a) (i) Label one of the following structures:-

Pancreas, liver, oesophagus or mouth

(ii) State one function of the labelled structure.

Pancreas : Secretes enzyme / examples of enzyme
Secretes hormones / examples of hormone
Liver : Produces bile / remove toxins from blood / changes
excess amino acids to urea / changes glucose into glycogen
Oesophagus : Moves the food from the mouth to the stomach
Mouth : Churns food
Starch is broken down by amylase into maltose.

(b) (i) 1. Protein

2. Fats

(ii) Proteins is broken down into amino acids.

Fats is broken down into glycerol and fatty acids

(iii) The digested food is absorbed into the blood capillaries.

2(a) (i) The enzyme in saliva works best at body temperature 37oC.
(ii) The enzyme amylase in saliva has changed the starch to sugar.
(iii) Mouth

(b) Food classes Food sample

(ii) Protein Fish
(iii) Vitamins /fibre Tomatoes
(iv) Fats Margarine
(v) Fibre / vitamin Vegetables / fruit
(vi) Water / mineral / Fresh milk
fats / proteins
