Section U21 October 26‚ 2011 X_______________________ Abstract Section The concept of this experiment was to analyze the enzyme Amylase and its environmental behavior. Amylase breaks down the biological macromolecule‚ carbohydrates‚ specifically starch into condensed subunits categorized as monosaccharaides or disaccharides. Two types of variables were human and fungal Amylase. Sum of six trials for both variables were conducted with two minutes intervals was measured for the duration. After every

out how much starch grains are distributed within a transverse section of a banana Apparatus: banana‚ iodine solution‚ ruler‚ white tile‚ stopwatch‚ microscope slide‚ coverslip‚ filter paper‚ Light microscope Method: 1) A piece of banana was place on a tile and a section was cut across the piece of banana about 5mm thick. 2) The surface of the banana was covered with iodine solution and left for about one minute. 3) The distribution of starch in the section

Horseshoe Kidney The human body is a wonderful thing. It ’s not everyday that one takes a second to ponder about all of the wonderful things the human body can do. The brain helps us to be the most intelligent beings on earth. Our hearts beat to keep us alive. What about the kidneys? People typically do not think about what they do for us or consider them one of the human ’s most amazing organs. What if humans only had one kidney? Would there be any disadvantages compared to the typical human

conditions affect a plants starch levels. Hypotheses: 1. If the plant that is in absence of CO2 and is kept in a closed environment‚ then it will have a starch level of 1 because the plant is missing CO2‚ which it needs to complete the photosynthesis process. 2. If the plant is in a closed environment‚ then the plant will have a starch level of 3 because it has all the environmental conditions it needs. 3. If the plant is kept in a dark environment‚ then it will have a starch level of 1 because it’s

Which one has more? In this experiment I’ll be taking some iodine and a starch solution and testing out some of the most basic people buy and love. Before this experiment can begin starch solution must be added to the beverages. As iodine is added‚ it will first react with the ascorbic acid in the beverage‚ producing a colorless product (dehydroascorbic acid). When the ascorbic acid runs out‚ the iodine will react with the starch in the beverage. At this poin‚ I will be able to recognize a highly visible

The Effect of Temperature on Animal and Fungal Amylase’s Ability to Breakdown Starch. Abstract This experiment was designed to test the reaction of the enzyme amylase at various temperatures. There were two different kinds of amylase being tested‚ one was fungal amylase also known as aspergillus oryzae and human amylase. The changes in temperature effect the rate at which an enzyme and a substrate collide. When the temperature is too high the active site changes shape or denatures‚ once this

that involves the chloroplasts to synthesize glucose molecules from carbon dioxide and water. Energy (ATP)‚ initially in the form of glucose (monosaccharide) is later formed by condensation reaction into starch (polysaccharide). These alpha-glucose units are attached together by glycosidic bonds. Starch is formed after the Calvin Cycle in the Stroma. Carbon dioxide is present in the air and the water is gained from precipitation or morning dew. The water is broken down in photosystem I (sourcing invisible

have become a huge importance to industry and sparked a large interest into the exploration of enzyme activity in microorganisms. Amylase is one of the most widely used enzyme required for the preparation of fermented foods. Apart from food and starch industries‚ in which demand for them is increasing continuously‚ amylase is also used in various other industries such as paper and pulp‚ textiles‚ and medical labs. The global market for enzymes was about $2 billion in 2004 (Sivaramakrishnan et

affect the rate of starch digestion measured using starch and iodine? Introduction Amylase is an enzyme found in human saliva and pancreas. It is the digestive enzyme that is needed to breakdown starch molecules. Amylase must be kept at certain conditions to function at its optimum level. This experiment will explore the effect of pH (1‚ 4‚ 7‚ 10‚ and 14) on the function of amylase by using starch and iodine. Usually iodine has a orange-yellow color‚ but iodine and starch react to produce a
