1. Key Concepts to Remember about Food and Nutrients for Human
7 Major Categories of Nutrients
Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Water
Minerals Vitamins Dietary Fibre
For each category, you should remember their:
  • Chemical Structure
  • Simple and Complex Form
  • Functions
  • Sources
  • Food Test
  • Storage of Excess
  • Deficiency Symptoms
  • Digestion
  • Absorption
  • Assimilation
(if applicable)

2. Key Concepts to Remember about the Digestive System
5 Major Stages of Digestion Ingestion → Digestion → Absorption → Assimilation → Egestion
Major Organs Mouth → Pharynx → Oesophagus → Stomach → Small Intestine → Large Intestine → Anus

plus Liver and Pancreas

For each organ, you should remember their functions and digestive enzymes (if any)
Digestive Enzymes such as salivary amylase, pepsin, pancreatic amylase, lipases, carbohydrases, peptidases, etc.
For each, you should remember their functions, production organ and functional locations
