    Bread contains starch. The starch content in bread is derived from the starchy endosperm of wheat. Refined breads have the bran and germ removed from the wheat in order to produce softer‚ silkier flour. there is a lot more food containing starch like: Starchy foods such as potatoes‚ bread‚ cereals‚ rice and pasta should make up about a third of the food you eat. Where you can‚ choose wholegrain varieties‚ or eat potatoes with their skins on for more fibre. Starch is the most common form of

    reaction. Each enzyme binds closely to the substrate; this greatly increases the reaction rate of the bounded substrate. Amylase enzyme‚ just like any other enzyme‚ has an optimum PH and temperature range in which it is most active‚ and in which the substrate binds most easily. The purpose of this experiment was to determine (1) the reaction rate of an amylase enzyme in starch and (2) the environmental factors that can affect the enzymatic activity. The hypothesis‚ in relation to the enzymatic

    Anaerobic digestion Anaerobic digestion is a series of processes in which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen‚ used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste and/or to release energy. The digestion process begins with bacterial hydrolysis of the input materials in order to break down insoluble organic polymers such as carbohydrates and make them available for other bacteria. Acidogenic bacteria then convert the sugars and amino acids into carbon dioxide

    of temperature on fungal amylase and bacterial amylase (Aspergillus oryzae and Bascillus Licheniformis). We used 4 different temperatures in Celsius 0‚ 23‚ 58‚ and 89 for both fungal and amylase. For 10 minutes‚ every 2 minutes we would use 3 drops of each amylase and mix it with iodine to observe the presence of starch at each temperature. We conducted this experiment for both bacterial and fungal amylase. Results were reached based on the color of the iodine and amylase mixture. Colors were classified

    Human Digestion Activity The digestive process involves the mixing of food‚ the movement of food through the digestive tract‚ and a chemical breakdown of large molecules of food into smaller molecules. The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract and other organs that aid in digestion. The digestive tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long‚ twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. Those twisted tubes include the mouth‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small and

    Biology Digestion IA 13/03/2013 Jason Gao Rationale: Digestion is the chemical breakdown of food into smaller components that are more easily absorbed. Digestion is a form of catabolism: a breakdown of large food molecules to smaller ones. When food enters into stomach‚ gastric juice starts protein digestion. Gastric juice mainly contains hydrochloric acid and pepsin. The pH value of hydrochloric in the stomach

    Department of agriculture- digestive system of a cow‚ koala and dingo Digestion comparison Koala The Koala is the only mammal‚ other than the Greater Glider and Ringtail Possum‚ which can survive on a diet of eucalyptus leaves. Gum leaves contain only about 50% water‚ very little nitrogen‚ large amounts of fibre and potentially toxic oils. Koalas are found to have molars premolars to physically break down the food. Plants contain cellulose‚ which can only be broken down to release cell contents

    DNA DIGESTION AND ELECTROPHORESIS In this experiment we will be doing a process called as DNA digestion or also known as restriction digest. A restriction digest is a procedure used in molecular biology to prepare DNA for analysis or other processing. It is sometimes termed DNA fragmentation‚ scientists Hartl and Jones describe it this way: This enzymatic technique can be used for cleaving DNA molecules at specific sites‚ ensuring that all DNA fragments that contain a particular sequence have the
