    Digestion and Enzymes – APP. Hypothesis: The enzyme‚ Amylase which is used to break down carbohydrates will work the best when heated at 40°C. Also‚ as the temperature increases the reaction rate of amylase increases too. However‚ the reaction rate of amylase will start decreasing when the temperature reaches the enzyme’s optimal temperature. Many enzymes are specific for a certain substrate. For example‚ lipase is a specific enzyme for fat substrates and protease‚ a specific enzyme for

    EXPERIMENT 13 DIGESTION IN THE SMALL INTESTINES ------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT The small intestine serves as the site of major digestive and absorptive processes. In this experiment‚ the action of pancreatic enzymes on representative samples of each food group under different conditions‚ such as increased/decreased pH and presence of other substances‚ were observed. A pancreatin solution was first prepared from a hog pancreas and was completely neutralized using
