    • 7 Pages

    Digestion Lab Abstract – The purpose of this lab was to understand how different solutions played a role in the digestion protein. By looking at different variables‚ such as temperature‚ and pH we’re capable of understanding just how certain substances functioned and when they didn’t. The data for all labs are clear and concise and give a clear understanding of what solutions work best. All three labs were placed in a warm water bath set at 37’C to stimulate the reaction as if it were taking place

    Respiration‚ digestion and rocks Respiration Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens in all living cells. It is the way that energy is released from glucose‚ for our cells to use to keep us functioning. Remember that respiration is not the same as breathing (which is properly called ventilation). The glucose and oxygen react together in the cells to produce carbon dioxide and water. The reaction is called aerobic respiration because oxygen from the air is needed for it to work. Digestion

    Human Digestion Shaunda SCI/241 05/16/14 Human Digestion From what I have learned from the weekly readings and watching the animated digestive tract. When humans digest food‚ we go through a complex process‚ in which the food eaten is turned into energy that is needed in order to survive. During the digestion process the food eaten becomes waste that has to be eliminated eventually. I will discuss how this process works in each area of mouth‚ stomach‚ small intestine

    The digestion process The digestion process begins in the mouth. First we take a bite of food. The presccence of food in the mouth stimulates the flow of saliva from the salivary glands. Saliva moistens the food and carries dissolved food molecules to the taste buds. Saliva helps digest food because it contains enzymes that start to break it down. After the food is covered with saliva‚ you then begin to chew your food. Chewing breaks down food into smaller pieces and also breaks apart fiber that

    Temperature and pH have on the Activity of Porcine Pancreatic Amylase Introduction There are many types of enzymes and each has a specific job. Enzymes are particular types of proteins that help to speed up some reactions‚ such as reactants going to products. One of them is the amylase enzyme. Amylases are found in saliva‚ and pancreatic secretions of the small intestine. The function of amylase is to break down big molecules of starch into small molecules like glucose; this process is called hydrolysis

    Starch is a type of Carbohydrate that’s made from thousands of glucose units. Simple sugars are the basic units that make up starch. Carbohydrates provide us with energy so that we can carry out our daily routines. Our body then digests it into glucose so we can have energy to do that. Saliva is a form of chemical digestion that is in the mouth. Amylase is an enzyme that catalysts the breakdown of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in human saliva‚ where it begins the chemical process of digestion

    Affect of pH on Porcine Pancreatic Alpha-Amylase Activity Introduction Proteins function in a variety of different ways‚ and one of their fundamental tasks is to act as enzymes. Enzymes are extremely important in controlling reaction speed (by initiating and regulating biological activity)‚ cell communication‚ and growth. One particularly significant enzyme is amylase‚ which catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha glycosidic linkages of amylose‚ starch components‚ and other oligosaccharides (Qian
