It's easy!

Go to the GameBuilder and get started!

Topics of this game:
  • A biological catalyst used to break down food during digestion.
  • Something that speeds up a reaction without being used up itself.
  • A food group used to build muscle.
  • Types of food that have proteins in them.
  • A food group used to release energy.
  • Types of foods that are carbohydrates.
  • Types of foods that have fats (lipids) in them.
  • A food group that is the same as fats, used for storing energy and building cells.
  • This enzyme breaks down fats (lipids).
  • The enzyme that breaks down proteins.
  • The enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates.
  • A chemical that turns black when starch is in a food.
  • The product when a carbohydrase enzyme breaks down a carbohydrate food molecule.
  • The product when a protease enzyme breaks down a protein food molecule.
  • The products when a Lipase enzyme breaks down a lipid (fat) food molecule.
  • An organ that makes lots of enzymes.
  • Something added in the stomach to kill bacteria and help digestion.
  • A muscular organ in the digestive system where food is churned up and acid and enzymes are added.
  • Food groups that are found in fruit and vegetables.
  • An organ where nutrients are absorbed into the blood.
  • An organ where water is absorbed into the blood.
  • A food group we can't digest but we need to help us poo.
  • Glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water
  • How enzymes will only work if they perfectly fit their food molecule.
