SBI3U1 November 6th‚ 2014 Spit and Armpit Lab Partners: Kara Washer and Josh Young Abstract This lab shows the use of salivary amylase with strong and weak starch mixtures to break down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars. This lab was conducted to physically see the breakdown of carbohydrates into simpler sugars (glucose‚ fructose‚ galactose) using the salivary amylase enzyme. This is extremely important to all metabolic functions in the human digestive system. It is found that benedict’s

TIME/DATE ________________________ Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion: Computer Simulation Carbohydrate Digestion The following questions refer to Activity 1: Assessing Starch Digestion by Salivary Amylase. 1. At what pH did you see the highest activity of salivary amylase? 7.0 Why? because that is when the salivary is most effective and it breaks down carbohydrates 2. How do you know that the amylase did not have any contaminating maltose? because the sample didn’t change

The Digestive system breaks down the ingested food into absorbable forms of nutrients and absorbs nutrients‚ ions and water from the external environment of the body. It is designed to maximize digestion and absorption. The functional structures of the digestive system are the passage‚ the glands like salivary glands‚ gastric glands‚ pancreatic‚ intestinal glands and liver. Also‚ the four layers of the digestive system are mucosa‚ submucosa‚ muscularis and serosa. The digestive system is regulated both

Starch can be hydrolyzed into simpler carbohydrates by acids‚ various enzymes‚ or a combination of the two. The resulting fragments are known as dextrins. The extent of conversion is typically quantified by dextrose equivalent (DE)‚ which is roughly the fraction of the glycosidic bonds in starch that have been broken. These starch sugars are by far the most common starch based food ingredient and are used as sweetener in many drinks and foods. They include: Maltodextrin‚ a lightly hydrolyzed (DE

most useful substances for many living organisms: Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are used for numerous processes in organisms from acting in important roles of cellular recognition in the human body to storing chemical energy in plants in the form or starch. The roles of carbohydrates in the human body alone are numerous; providing energy for working muscles‚ providing energy for the regulation of blood glucose‚ preventing proteins being used for energy‚ breaking down fatty acids and playing a part
