the substrate‚ temperature and the pH. The more concentrated the substrate is the more reactive the enzyme is. The optimal pH for an enzyme is 7.5 and the optimal temperature for an enzyme is 53 Celsius. Extremes in the temperature and the pH of an enzyme can denature therefore destroy it. The enzyme that is in this experiment is Amylase. Amylase is found in germinating seeds. These seeds contain starch in their endosperm. With the help of Amylase enzyme‚ the starch (Amylose) is broken down to Maltose

Bread contains starch. The starch content in bread is derived from the starchy endosperm of wheat. Refined breads have the bran and germ removed from the wheat in order to produce softer‚ silkier flour. there is a lot more food containing starch like: Starchy foods such as potatoes‚ bread‚ cereals‚ rice and pasta should make up about a third of the food you eat. Where you can‚ choose wholegrain varieties‚ or eat potatoes with their skins on for more fibre. Starch is the most common form of

Investigation Into The Effect Of PH On The Activity Of Potato Tissue Catalase Aim The aim of my investigation is to see how pH affects the activity of potato tissue catalase‚ during the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to produce water and oxygen. Catalase + 2H2O2 Catalase + 2H2O +O2 Catalase + Hydrogen Peroxide Catalase + Water + Oxygen Independent Variable The independent variable in this investigation is pH. Each individual enzyme has it’s own pH characteristic.

your body wants to release an enzyme called amylase. Amylase is the enzyme found in your saliva. The purpose of this enzyme is to help in the digestion process (McD‚ 2002). Enzymes are biological catalyst that help speed up the reaction by lowering the activation energy. These enzymes allow your food to be digested at a faster rate (National Institute of Asian Medicine‚ 2007). There are many factors that can affect the efficiency of enzymes which include pH levels‚ the amount of substrate‚ inhibitors

Human Digestion Activity The digestive process involves the mixing of food‚ the movement of food through the digestive tract‚ and a chemical breakdown of large molecules of food into smaller molecules. The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract and other organs that aid in digestion. The digestive tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long‚ twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. Those twisted tubes include the mouth‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small and

Digestion begins in the mouth when one eats food. It begins the moment one takes a sandwich bite. The teeth are used to break the sandwich that contains lettuce and pickles into smaller particles or boluses so that the enzymes can digest the food much easier. Lettuce contains carbohydrates‚ proteins and fat. The tongue helps turn food in the mouth and mix with the saliva in the mouth which contains salivary amylase enzyme. It then passes through the esophagus to the stomach which is a mixer and grinder
