SECTION C
Able to explain the assimilation of digested food of
glucose , amino acids and lipids
Sample answer
Glucose
P1 : Excess of glucose in the blood is converted to
glycogen and stored in the liver
P2 : In the liver , if glucose level in blood is low
glycogen is converted to glucose
P3 : Excess of glycogen is converted to lipids by the
liver
P4 : Reaching the body cells , glucose is oxidized to
release energy in cellular respiration
Amino acids
P5 : In liver , synthesized of plasma protein from amino
acids
P6 : In liver excess of amino acids ( cannot be stored in
the body but) undergo deamination process.
P7 : Urea is then eliminated by the kidney
P8 : In body cells , amino acids is used to synthesise
new protoplasm and repair of damaged tissues
P9 : In body cell , amino acids is used to synthesise
enzymes/antibodies/hormones

P1 : frequently consumed by athletes to get a stronger muscle
Effect of drugs on impulse transmission:
F : repeated / prolonged impulse transmission at synapses /
neuromuscular junction
P1: it may stop/delay impulse transmission across the
synapses
