    Lecturer’s name: Mr. Paul Davidson Discussion The name of enzyme involved in this experiment is salivary amylase‚ which presents in our saliva. Salivary amylase catalyses the breakdown of complex sugar‚ such as starch‚ into a simple sugar‚ such as glucose. In this experiment‚ the optimum temperature for salivary amylase to function is 37˚C. Above the optimum temperature‚ the kinetic energy in the substrate and enzyme increases. The number of collisions between

    for cell metabolism‚ including the maintenance and repair of cells and growth. In humans‚ digestion and absorption occur in the alimentary canal or gut. As the gut wall is continuous with the outside surface of the body‚ the food in the gut is considered to be outside of the body‚ the gut is specialised into different regions‚ each designed to carry out a different role in the overall processes of digestion and absorption. The human gut is a coiled‚ muscular tube extending from the mouth to the

    potatoes‚ dried peas and beans‚ rice‚ pasta‚ fruits‚ and vegetables. Many of these foods contain both starch and fibre. The digestible carbohydrates such as starch and sugar are broken into simpler molecules by enzymes in the saliva‚ in juice produced by the pancreas‚ and in the lining of the small intestine. Starch is digested in two steps. First‚ an enzyme in the saliva and pancreatic juice breaks the starch into molecules called maltose. Then an enzyme in the lining of the small intestine splits the maltose

    add-ons within the mouth and hold it in place while the teeth crush or tear it. The incisors and canines primarily cut and tear the hamburger‚ while the premolars and molars primarily crush and grind it. Mastication begins the process of mechanical digestion‚ in which the hamburger particles are broken down into smaller ones. The tongue moves the hamburger in the mouth and‚ in cooperation with the lips and cheeks‚ holds the hamburger in place during mastication. During this process‚

In this experiment‚ pH 7.0 showed the highest level of amylase activity. Tube 3 showed that amylase did not contain maltose contamination. Tubes 3‚ 4‚ and 5 showed that water had no starch or maltose contamination. Tube 3 directly showed that water did not have maltose or starch contamination. Tube 4 was a starch control
