    where people use mechanical digestion and use their teeth to break down their food. With the help of saliva produced by the salivary glands‚ which produce enzymes‚ food is able to be broken down further. This is also the place where ingestion takes place” “What are enzymes” “Enzymes are very efficient catalysts for biochemical reactions. In the mouth there’s an enzyme that will help your food undergo chemical digestion” “What is it” “It is amylase. Which help digest starch into smaller molecules. This

    Digestion is a process in which the food that we eat is broken down into tiny nutrients to be taken in by the body. Within the human digestive system‚ chemical and physical reactions occur that allow for the digestion and the absorption of proteins into the bloodstream. The purpose of this paper is to show how chemistry relates to the daily functions within the body. There are two types of digestion processes‚ which are called mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion includes the

    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.

    Lab Report DIFFUSION AND 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.)

It is effectively a diagnosis of exclusion: the finding of a very high serum amylase activity is very suggestive but is not on its own diagnostic
