Research Question How will the addition of different pH buffers to amylase affect the rate of starch digestion measured using starch and iodine? Introduction Amylase is an enzyme found in human saliva and pancreas. It is the digestive enzyme that is needed to breakdown starch molecules. Amylase must be kept at certain conditions to function at its optimum level. This experiment will explore the effect of pH (1‚ 4‚ 7‚ 10‚ and 14) on the function of amylase by using starch and iodine.

Determination of presence of protein in a variety of food substances by the use of Biuret Reagent Biol. 1040 Section 1005 Introduction The human body consumes carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ and proteins each day by eating a variety of foods. These foods are required for energy and human growth. Proteins are a diverse group of macromolecules with many different functions (Mbuthia‚ 2012). Many are structural components of bone‚ muscle‚ hair‚ tissue‚ etc. Others are enzymes that speed up cellular

Meiossis and Genetic Diversity in Sordaria Meiosis and Genetic Diversity in the Model Organism‚ Sordaria. By: Katie Fiorillo BIO110 Lab TA: Lauren Smith October 30‚ 2012 A. INTRODUCTION: In this lab‚ the organism Sordaria fimicola was used to explore factors contributing to genetic evolution of sexual reproduction. These organisms are found in “Evolution Canyons‚” which occur when two mountain slopes with very different climatic conditions congregate with a comparatively small valley

can survive in extreme environments. Halobacteria are also useful by being a good organism to perform DNA transcription‚ translation‚ and transformation on (Kramer‚ 2006). There are two different types of Halobacteria that are being observed in this lab. The first is NRC-1‚ which is also called the wild type strain. Although the pigmentation of the Halobacteria is caused by the production of the membrane protein‚ bacteriorhodopsin‚ which is a red‚ the wild type strain is pink in color. This pink color
