Understanding Food Types and Digestion

This document discusses food types, food tests, carnivore teeth adaptations, definitions of trophic levels and producers/consumers, food chains, energy pyramids, and the digestive system. It describes the main food types - carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and sugars - and their uses. Tests are described to identify each food type. Carnivore teeth are adapted for tearing meat. Food chains show how organisms gain energy by eating each other, with plants as producers and consumers eating other organisms. Energy pyramids show how only 10% of energy is passed between trophic levels. The digestive system breaks down food mechanically and chemically from mouth to anus.

Biuret turns purple if

present
Greaseproof paper gets
an oily residue
Iodine turns blue/black if
starch is present

Carnivore Teeth Adaptation

Omnivore
Eats a mixture of plants
and animals
E.g. Pigs, humans

Increased chance of
survival as they are not
restricted to one diet.

Definitions
Trophic level

feeding group in food chain (eg Herbivore)

Producer

makes own food

Consumer

eats other organisms for food

Food Chains
Food chains describe how organisms
Food
gain______
from eating each other in a
community.
Producers because they
Plants are called _______
make glucose using energy from the
Sun
______
_________
must eat other organisms for
Consumers
their _______
and nutrients.
Energy

Energy Pyramids
Only about
10% of energy
passed on
between
trophic levels

Few Carnivores

More Herbivores

Most is lost
through the
organisms
living
processes

All supported
by energy
from
producers

The Digestive System


(Breaking food down into smaller pieces)

Lets find out what happened to your breakfast today!


Mouth
Oesophagus
Stomach
Small Intestine
Liver
Large Intestine
Gall Bladder
Pancreas
Rectum
Anus

Mouth
Teeth
(mechanical breakdown)
Incisors used for cutting
Canines used for stabbing
and holding
Molars large surface area
used for grinding

Saliva
(chemical breakdown)
Enzyme (speeds up
reactions in the body)
Breaks down carbohydrate
