Running Head: GRAVES’ DISEASE Graves’ Disease Graves’ Disease Graves’ disease‚ also known as toxic diffuse goiter‚ is the most common cause (80%) of hyperthyroidism in the United States (Rakel & Bope‚ 2008). Hyperthyroidism is a hypermetabolic disorder that occurs when the thyroid gland makes more thyroid hormone than the body needs (Nettina‚ 2006). Over activity of the thyroid gland leads to high levels of thyroid

work. This tells me that amylase will work the best at 40°C as it might be amylase’s optimal temperature. Variables: I will change the temperature‚ at which the solution is heated. I will measure the time it takes for the colour of starch and iodine mixture to disappear. The independent variable in this experiment will be the temperature and the dependent variable time taken between the mixing of amylase and starch solutions and the end of the test. The control variables will be: Volume

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

are the long chains of monosaccharide‚ which is called the polymer of carbohydrates. Monosaccharide and disaccharides can be tested by the Benedict’s test‚ as they are reducing sugars. Polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen can be tested by the iodine test. Also‚ carbohydrates are consumed to provide energy to our body and they are useful in metabolism. Therefore‚ it is one of the essential macromolecule that we have to consume. 2. Lipids Lipids are made up of a glycerol molecule and three fatty

presence of iodine. The iodine molecule slips inside of the amylose coil.The amount of blue complex that starch gives with iodine can be measured by using a spectrophotometer. α-amylases are found in saliva‚ pancreatic juice‚ human breast milk‚ serum and certain tissues such as the liver. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of α (1-4) linkages in starch by breaking it down to maltose and some glucose. As the starch is broken down‚ the coiled structure of α-amylase is unfolded. Therefore‚ iodine will

Title: Kinetics: The Rate of a Chemical Reaction Objectives: 1. To study the kinetics of chemical reaction‚ 2 I- + S2 O82- I2 + 2 SO42- . 2. To study the effects of reactant concentration (persulphate‚ S2O82-‚ and iodide‚ I-) and temperature on the rate of chemical reactions. ( i) Study the effect of 0.20M (S2O82-) on the rate of chemical reaction. ( ii) Study the effect of 0.10M (S2O82-) on the rate of chemical reaction. ( iii) Study the effect
