    Worksheet 1.2.11 Introducing enzymes

    1 The role of enzymes >


    Complete the paragraph using the following words:
    starch smaller chemical
    larger specific saliva

    Enzymes are involved in the …………………… digestion of food. They break down

    …………………… molecules in food into …………………… molecules. Enzymes are

    …………………… – this means that they only break down one type of food molecule. In the

    mouth, ……………………contains an enzyme that breaks down …………………… .

    2 Different types of enzymes >>


    By drawing lines, match each enzyme with the food that it breaks down and the place where it acts.

    Enzyme What it breaks Where it acts


    down
    amylase fats mouth
    protease starch stomach
    lipase protein small intestine

    3 Modelling enzymes >>>


    We can use models to picture what is happening inside our bodies. We can model the work of
    enzymes using building bricks or pictures.

    a) Carry out some research to find out what starch, proteins and fats are broken down into.
    b) Make a model to demonstrate what you have found, using either drawings or building bricks or
    modelling clay.
