Starch is a type of Carbohydrate that’s made from thousands of glucose units. Simple sugars are the basic units that make up starch. Carbohydrates provide us with energy so that we can carry out our daily routines. Our body then digests it into glucose so we can have energy to do that. Saliva is a form of chemical digestion that is in the mouth. Amylase is an enzyme that catalysts the breakdown of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in human saliva‚ where it begins the chemical process of digestion

be able to absorb any more water‚ so it will seep out onto its surface. This is the beginning of a stream that with time will evolve into a river. All water in the same drainage basin will eventually flow in the same pattern and ultimately‚ will end up in the same stream or river. Why do river shapes vary in wet and dry climates? River shapes change in various climates due to different erosion patterns. In dry‚ arid regions‚ the river valleys are often deep and/or steep. This is due to little erosion

They have an optimum pH that they function at‚ in this case around pH 8 and the further you deviate from that‚ the slower the rate of reaction because the enzyme functions less and less effectively. We can see from the graph that the enzyme stops functioning at pH 4 and 10 completely. This is because it has

varying temperatures are targeted towards being at 10ºC‚ 20ºC‚ 30ºC‚ 40ºC‚ and 50ºC. It is highly improbable that each trial for each of the 5 different temperatures will be the exact temperature that was targeted‚ so it’s just important that you end up having a temperature fairly close to the targeted temperatures so that the rates of reactions that you do receive are as correct as possible. The rates of reaction will be obtained using an apparatus that will guide the carbon dioxide gas being produced

this experiment is that the higher the concentration‚ the faster time it takes the catalase to react with the solution. As the concentration increases from 1% to 100%‚ the average reaction rate of the catalase will decrease‚ as the catalase will speed up the reaction.

Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to identify whether density is an extensive or intensive physical property. By using water displacement‚ the volumes of the paper clip samples were measured and the masses were obtained by using an electronic balance. Each mass and volume was unique to their sample so by using their values‚ density was used to identify substances in the lab. After conducting the experiment‚ the results showed that there was a positive slope between the different paper

Question: Why would sensing and responding to vinegar be important to an organism? -It could train them to respond to certain smells and respond in a certain way. How would natural selection affect an organism’s ability to sense and respond to this stimulus? -The organism depends on its ability to sense and respond. The organisms could compete for water or hydration. What other types of stimuli would be important for the organism to respond to? - An organism that is used to light is

Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to determine the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar by using 0.1 M HCl and NaOH solution. By performing three titrations to determine the concentration of the base‚ the concentration of the acid was determined to be 0.600 M. It was possible to determine its concentration by standardizing the sodium hydroxide solution used for the first three titrations and by using phenolphthalein to indicate its equivalence point. In conclusion‚ although there were

History of Pediatric Nursing Pediatric Nurses are defined as nurses who devote their knowledge and skills to caring for children and their families from infancy through late teen years (Pediatric Nurse). Pediatric Nursing did not develop as a specialty in the U.S. until the second half of the 19th century. During this period‚ hospitals did not admit children with communicable diseases because of high mortality rates. Most children were delivered with the help of midwives and cared for by their
