Lab 8 - Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion (p.105) Introduction: In this lab‚ I will study how digestion of carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and fats occurs. I will define Key Terms that describe what will occur in the experiments; I will conduct an experiment for each Activity and provide all resulting Data as well as answer Questions from each Activity. I will then provide a short Summary for what I learned in each Activity. Key Terms: Enzymes (p. 105) – Speed up chemical

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

Lab Report: Purpose: The Objective of this lab was to learn how to measure the pH (or acidity) of commonly known fluids‚ using the correct tools and procedures. To then use that data to document the changes noticed when mixing those same fluids and changing their respective pH levels. Materials: In order to conduct this experiment several pieces of equipment and other materials were needed. The first item was a graduated cylinder‚ which was used in order to measure out the precise

body. You might find yourself asking‚ what does blood have to do with digestion‚ respiration and circulation? Hopefully‚ after the presentation all of your questions will be answered. When a person thinks of digestion they usually think about what happens in the stomach. A lot has happened to digest the food way before it gets to the stomach. It starts in the mouth or oral cavity. It is a process called mechanical digestion. First‚ Mastication begins. Mastication is the chewing of the food

Digestion and Nutrients Briana Smallwood The human body needs nutrients for it to survive. Nutrients are the fuel for the body to do work. It helps the body grow‚ provide protection from sickness and disease‚ function properly‚ and even live. There are many types and forms of nutrients that each do specific or multiple jobs. They are classified in six main groups. Carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ fats‚ vitamins‚ minerals and water are all the different groups. Proteins are nutrients that help build and

Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to check the time needed for salivary amylase and phosphorylase to produce a negative result and how different concentrations affected those times. Enzymes are biological catalysts that can cause a specific chemical change in any part of the body (Walsh‚ 2002). Many of the reactions that take place within a cell would normally take place at temperatures substantially higher than those present inside a cell (Alberts et al.‚ 2010). Because of this‚ these chemical

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

Abstract α-amylase was immobilized covalently on iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles. The synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles was done by the coprecipitation conventional method. The chemical composition and particle size of the synthesized particles was confirmed via X-ray diffraction. Tyrosine‚ Lucien and chitosan and glutaraldehyde were investigated to make a covalent binding between the iron oxide magnetic core and the immobilized enzyme. Immobilization using chitosan and glutaraldehyde show

Define the following terms: Digestion: Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food substances in small and soluble one by means of mechanical and chemical actions. Peristalsis: It is a series of alternate contraction and relaxation of the circular and longitudinal muscles‚ producing a wave-like motion to move food down the oesophagus‚ from the mouth to the stomach. Emulsification: It is the hydrolysis of a few large fat globules into many small and soluble fat molecules. Transpiration:

Practical 12: Digestion in Humans Aim: To distinguish between 5 liquids to come to a conclusion from which region of the alimentary canal it was extracted from. Hypothesis In this practical‚ we have been given 5 unknown solutions hence it is not possible for us without any logical analysis to come up with a conclusion regarding the positioning along the alimentary canal. We cannot come up with a proper answer or predict results without running through the tests. I though can base my
