IGCSE BIOLOGY 
B3 enzymes and B4 HUMAN nutrition

Before you start look back at 8A Digestion.

If you only remember one thing:

  • ENZYMES ARE BIOLOGICAL CATALYSTS THAT SPEED UP CHEMICAL REACTIONS.
  • THE HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM CONSISTS OF: MOUTH, OESOPHAGUS, STOMACH, SMALL INTESTINE, LARGE INTESTINE (COLON, RECTUM AND ANUS)

This is the third and fourth of the 11 Biology units:
B1. Characteristics of Living Organisms 
B2. Cells
B3. Enzymes 
B4. Nutrition

B5. Transportation
B6. Respiration
B7. Coordination and Response
B8. Reproduction
B9. Inheritance
B10. Energy Flow in Ecosystems 
B11. Human Influences on the Ecosystem
