    Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to check the time needed for salivary amylase and phosphorylase to produce a negative result and how different concentrations affected those times. Enzymes are biological catalysts that can cause a specific chemical change in any part of the body (Walsh‚ 2002). Many of the reactions that take place within a cell would normally take place at temperatures substantially higher than those present inside a cell (Alberts et al.‚ 2010). Because of this‚ these chemical

    a catalyst for specific chemical reaction by converting a specific reactants into a specific product. The enzyme activity will also be affected by temperature and pH value. In this experiment‚ enzyme was placed in carbohydrate solution at different temperature to identify unknown carbohydrate solution. The enzyme that involved in the reaction is salivary amylase. The action of amylase on starch is with the mixture of IKI (iodine and potassium iodide test).Starch solution will have a blue-black colour

    The Effect of Starch on the Activity of Amylase with pH Variable Lab Report‚ Fall 2011 East Tennessee State University Department of Biological Sciences By: Shelby Brackett Date Performed: October 10‚ 2011 Lab Instructor: Joseph Kusi Biology 1111‚ Section 018 Abstract Enzymes are very important in chemical reactions. They are used to speed up the reaction taking place. They act by binding to a specific substrate and form an enzyme-substrate complex that may put stress on chemical bonds

    iodine can be measured by using a spectrophotometer. α-amylases are found in saliva‚ pancreatic juice‚ human breast milk‚ serum and certain tissues such as the liver. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of α (1-4) linkages in starch by breaking it down to maltose and some glucose. As the starch is broken down‚ the coiled structure of α-amylase is unfolded. Therefore‚ iodine will no longer be able to form the blue complex with the α-amylase. It can be assumed that the decrease in color (absorbance)

    PH level of Amylase Background info: What is Amylase? Amylase is an enzyme that helps digest carbohydrates. It is produced in the pancreas and the salivary glands. (Dugdale & Longstreth‚ 2011) Factors Affecting Amylase: Things that affect the efficiency of Amylase are temperature and pH levels. (Wikimedia Foundation‚ Inc‚ 2013) Function in the body: The function of Amylase in the human body is to break down plant-based starch sources. Therefore‚ providing the human body with more

    pH Affecting on Amylase Enzyme Is there a difference in the concentration of pH in the amylase enzyme activity? The null hypothesis would be that there will be no difference in the concentration of pH and alternative hypothesis would be that there will be a difference in the concentration of pH. The predication if that there will be a difference in the concentration of pH. The pH affects on enzyme activities‚ one of the enzyme that was used in the process was amylase.

    The Effect and Rate of the Enzyme Amylase on Starch Abstract Assessing reaction speed of the enzyme amylase can be measured by the amount of glucose and maltose produced during given time intervals. I hypothesized that‚ if the reaction time is longer‚ then the amount of amylase will be larger. Enzymes are specific in their match of substrates they will breakdown – similar to a key and its lock. Since amylase is the only enzyme that breaks down starch‚ the procedure was effective and gave clear
