Activity of Salivary Amylase Domingo‚ Guray‚ Hugo‚ Lorenzo‚ Mohammad Isa Intro Because everything has a start Catalysis The process of increasing the rate of reaction with the use of a catalyst. Catalyst – any substance that increases rate of reaction upon addition to a certain reaction Page 3 Enzymes Act on substrates in a reaction Highly specific Breaks down complex macromolecules‚ synthesizes compounds essential for the cell Active site Enzyme-substrate

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

In this lab‚ I was testing different temperatures and how it affects the time catalase takes for it to break down peroxide. The problem that i was investigating is how does temperature affect the time it takes for catalase to break down peroxide. My independent variable for this lab was the temperature of the solution the enzyme is in. My dependent variable in this experiment was rate of reaction or the amount of time it takes to sink and rise. My hypothesis is that if the temperature is higher than

Alum Lab Conclusion The purpose of this laboratory was to use two different techniques to attempt to identify the melting point and the mole ratio of hydrated water to anhydrous aluminum‚ potassium‚ and sulfate of AlKSO4. The hypotheses were: if the alum was put in a capillary tube the melting point of alum will be able to be determined; and the water of hydration in alum crystals will be possible to determine if the alum is heated with a Bunsen burner.

Identification of unknown a-Amylase through testing different temperatures and pH values to detect the absorbance of maltose. Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ mainly proteins for this experiment‚ generated by an organism to speed up chemical reactions. They have active sites on which the substrate is attached‚ and then broken up or joined. For this experiment we are going to work with the enzyme a-amylase. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar. Amylase is present in human

reactions but they themselves are not consumed or altered when doing so. These catalysts work best at optimum temperatures and pH’s. The temperature and pH at which the reaction occurs the quickest is the ideal condition for the enzymatic reaction. Alpha amylase converts starch into glucose and when starch is combined with I2KI indicator a dark purple solution forms. As the enzyme breaks down the starch the absorbency will decrease. The absorbency is measured through the spectrophotometer which reads the

Lab Conclusion When comparing the average speed results from part two of the lab and the definition of acceleration‚ you find similarities between the two. First‚ average speed is distance divided by time‚ and we use it to describe the motion of an object moving at changing speeds. We can see this from our lab results from the average speed of the marble traveling down the ramp‚ because it picks up speed. When the marble is released at the top of the ramp‚ the ball doesn’t have the same momentum

Conclusion to Motion Lab Kerreon Wright 3rd Period Ms. Gislason The purpose of this Motion Lab was to find the acceleration of a steel marble going down a straight track six different times to figure out how an object’s mass affects acceleration. It doesn’t due to Newton’s second law of motion. There were six different accelerations for each trial and they are: 7.88 m/s squared‚ 6.78 m/s squared‚ 6.07 m/s squared‚ 5.57 m/s squared‚ 4.32 m/s squared‚ and 5.11 m/s squared. It’s possible

Lab Conclusion on Density In the lab of measuring density‚ precision and accuracy are very key components. Precision is the exactness of a measurement or good technique. Now accuracy is the value that we measured compared to the true value that the book has. Precision and accuracy are important because you need to have good technique and have your value close to the true value to minimize the error analysis. If you do these steps correctly you are a good chemist but if you do them poorly they

In conclusion to the distillation lab‚ I think our data shows that our experiment went well. Our graph resembles the graph in the lab handout (graphs attached to lab notebook sheets). The fractional distillation shows the sharp slope between when the cyclohexane burns off and mostly only toluene remains. The microscale graph seems to be accurate because it shows the large jump where the cyclohexane is burned off. To view the apparatuses used in the experiment look at the attached pictures. To
