Biology

The document provides an overview of biology revision notes covering topics such as balanced diets, testing for starch and glucose, energy requirements, the human alimentary canal, and the process of breaking down food which involves ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation and egestion. Key details include that a balanced diet includes carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals, water and fibre. Tests can determine the presence of starch or glucose. The human alimentary canal contains the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and pancreas. Food is broken down by enzymes and moved through the gut by peristalsis.
