    Biology Form Four Digestion Digestion is the process by which food is broken down from complex insoluble substances into simple soluble substances. There are two types of digestion – chemical digestion and mechanical digestion. Mechanical digestion involves breaking up large pieces of food into smaller pieces. This provides a large surface area for the action of enzymes on food. There is no change to the chemical composition of food during mechanical digestion. Mechanical digestion occurs in the

    a negative result. To explain‚ both DI water‚ and sucrose alone do not contain a trace of protein. In addition‚ deionized water is commonly used in experiments as a negative control. In both experiments‚ if the DI water is tested for a protein or starch‚ then it will come back as a negative. If milk solution‚ and 50% egg white solution are tested for proteins using the biuret solution‚ then there will be positive results because both of these are composed of protein macromolecules. The use of condensed

    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

    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

    optimum pH at which it is most active. An increase or decrease in the pH of the solution will cause the enzyme to have a change in its three dimensional shape. If an enzyme is placed in an environment that is to basic or acidic the reaction will take longer to digest the starch because the enzyme shape has changed and the substrate will have a harder time connecting to the active

    activity of the enzyme catecholase in different pH levels as well as its absorbance in differently concentrated solutions. A spetrophotometer was used to measure the absorbance of the enzyme catecholase in different pH solutions as well as to measure the absorbance of catecholase in solutions with different concentrations of potato juice and phosphate buffers. Absorbance of the enzyme catecholase was at an optimum level when pH was close to neutral. When pH was acidic or basic‚ the catecholase was less
