temperature on amylase activity Design principle Background: Amylase activity products? (show the equation) Which factors will affect enzyme activity? How to study the rate of reaction? (e.g. rate of disappearance of substrates or rate of formation of products) Independent variable: temperature of reaction mixture or at which the enzymatic reaction occurs. It can be varied by setting water bath at different desired temperature ranging from 0oC to100oC). Dependent variable: rate of amylase activity

“Is Starch Permeable in Cells? Abstract This report presents the weights of 3 samples of water with various amounts of solute after the use of osmosis. Three different tests were performed‚ each with a beaker of water containing varying amounts of starch from 30% concentration (12.5 grams of water) to 15% concentration (9.5 grams of water)‚ and then 0% (10.5 grams of water). To start this experiment‚ we put water into a make-shift dialysis tube‚ a type of semi-permeable membrane tubing made

In what structures do the enzymes actually chemically digest food? * 4. Based on the information you have learned about the digestive system‚ describe the optimal pH for the action of pancreatic amylase. Do classroom experimental results seem to support this finding? Why might there be

Title: Starch Aims 1. To identify starch in food. 2. To study the microscopic appearances of raw and heated starch. 3. To compare the viscosity of various gelatinized starch solutions. Introduction Starch is one of the most abundant substances on the earth. It can be found in seeds‚ grains‚ and roots of many crops where it is synthesized in granular form. Starch granules are packages of starch molecules. The importance of starch is well-known‚ as is its central role in human diet.

The Equilibrium Constant of an Ester Hydrolysis Reaction Abstract: The results from this experiment show four different Kc equilibrium constants of: .1522 for bottle two‚ .1853 for bottle three‚ .2094 for bottle four‚ and .2678 for bottle five. The average Kc value came out to be .2037 for all four bottles. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the equilibrium concentrations of an organic acid‚ an alcohol‚ an ester‚ and water in four bottles with varying measurements of each

Resistant starch (RS) is starch and starch degradation products that escape from digestion in the small intestine of healthy individuals.[1] Resistant starch is considered the third type of dietary fiber‚ as it can deliver some of the benefits of insoluble fiber and some of the benefits of soluble fiber. Some carbohydrates‚ such as sugars and most starch‚ are rapidly digested and absorbed as glucose into the body through the small intestine and subsequently used for short-term energy needs or stored

Peerless strategy Case Overview The first plant of the Peerless starch industry was started in Blair during the civil war times. It is one of the highest wages paying plants in the region sporting a five story building supported by two massive towers. The other plants in the region have all shut down and currently Peerless starch is the only active plant in the region and it employs 8000 of the 120000 residents of the Blair. Company has three more plants in Illinois‚ Oregon and Texas which

Introduction In the amylase lab‚ it was being tested if amylase‚ an enzyme found in saliva‚ would be denatured by being put in an acid or high temperatures. This lab is about denaturing amylase. It is tested by exposing it to pH and temperature changes. It is then mixed with Benedict’s solution‚ is a solution that changes color from blue to reddish brown when maltose is present. Amylase breaks starch into maltose‚ so is the amylase isn’t denatured‚ it should change colors. Amylase is an enzyme.

THE EFFECT OF AMYLASE. Aim: We will interpret and explain the activity of an enzyme added to a solution. We will analyze reactions in different pH ranges. The starch solution will appear blue when mixed with iodine. But after mixing the enzyme amylase to the starch‚ the starches are broken down into simple sugars. Now‚ when the iodine is added‚ no color change exist. Instruments and materials used: 1.) Dialysis bags x2 2.) Beakers 3.) Test tubes 4.) Water

These pores allow certain chemicals to flow into and out of the cells. The size of the molecule determines what goes through the tubing. On of the materials that we will be using is glucose. glucose is a simple sugar that easily dissolves in water. To test for the presence of glucose we will use glucose test strips
